Site Search

The Lucene full-text search engine ensures visitors to Shado CMS sites can find the specific information they require from databases and in hundreds of file formats.

Features include:

  • Full-text search of all site content
  • Ability to search a wide range of document types including HTML, binary documents and database records
  • Ability to limit search to specific collections of documents to enable subject-specific searches
  • Support for multiple languages, including most European and Asian languages Lucene parametric selection and category search of content with indexed metadata when building applications.

 

There is more to Lucene Search than just a box in which users type a query. To deliver exceptional performance, advanced functionality and high relevancy, Lucene performs searches against Lucene Collections, not against the actual documents and database records within Shado CMS.

 

The speed and relevancy of Shado's searches are dramatically increased by bringing all information together in one index and then running searches against it, as opposed to locating and accessing the actual documents and databases each time a user searches for information. One of the Verity search solution's strengths is that it can be configured to meet specific business and technical objectives.

By taking advantage of Lucene's flexibility, you can add significant value to your Shado CMS sites. Typical uses for Verity search within Shado CMS include:

Index the content of a website and provide a generalized search mechanism, such as a familiar search box

 

  • Index specific directories that contain documents on a specific topic to provide subject-based searching
  • Index cfquery record sets into a single Verity Collection and let users search against the collection with a single query rather than requiring them to perform multiple database queries to return the same data
  • Index cfldap and cfpop query results
  • Index email generated by ColdFusion application pages and make the resulting Verity Collection available for searching from your ColdFusion application pages.
  • Build Verity Collections with inventory data and make those collections available for searching from your ColdFusion application pages
  • Support international users in a range of languages using the cfindex, cfcollection, and cfsearch tags
