Question

cfsearch and pdfs

I've indexed two documents in a verity collection. ColdFusion admin
confirms that there are two documents, but when I perform the search I
get zero results back.

I tried a simple search type:

<cfsearch type="simple" name="searchResult"
collection="#arguments.collectionName#" criteria="#arguments.criteria#" />

And I get no results back. I have printed the PDF and have tried using
any number of words that appear in the PDF, but I still get zero results.

So I have tried explicit search type with the same result.

I have read this page and nothing there that I have tried works:

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00001325.htm

Any one have any clue.

Thank You

    Well I've discovered that I can do a cfsearch without criterias and it
    returns all the documents. So I did that and discovered that the PDFs
    were in the index, but the context field was empty which I'm guessing
    means that no much was found for verity to index. Although the PDF
    opens up fine.

    Anyway I indexed another PDF and that one was there.
