Question I've noticed that BlueDragon does not bundle the Verity search engine as ColdFusion does. Can I do text and query indexing with BlueDragon?
Answer Yes you can. While BlueDragon does not embed Verity, it does instead embed an alternative text search engine, Lucene. All CFML tags related to this (CFCOLLECTION, CFINDEX, and CFSEARCH) as well as admin interface features for it exist, just as in CF. You can index text files, database queries, and even can do web site spidering directly from CFINDEX (something CF doesn't offer).

That said, if you need to index and search PDF, Word, or other binary documents, Lucene (and therefore BlueDragon) does not currently support that (though the feature is under development and we plan to add that in BlueDragon 7).
