Verity <cfsearch> returns "collection does not exist" error - when collection does exist

[PamelainMN]

I have created a collection using the Coldfusion Administrator - and it shows up fine when displaying all the collections. I also populated the collection using the <cfindex> function - using a SQL query - and that appeared to work fine. It put 117 entries into the collection - and this also shows up in the Coldfusion Administrator collections window.

The problem is, when I try to search the collection with the <cfsearch> tag, it returns an error stating "The collection you specified does not exists or is not registered with the ColdFusion Search Service."

I can see the collection I'm trying to search exists. Is there anything else I need to do to get the <cfsearch> function to find the collection? I've tried repairing the collection, optimizing the collection, even deleting it and recreating it - nothing seems to work. I specify the fully-qualified path to the collection in my cfsearch, so that shouldn't be the problem.

Is there some other command or function I need to run?

Thanks!!! Pamela

Not sure if that is the problem. The path exists in the CFAdmin. You sould refer to the collection name in the cfsearch tag.

See attached code, you can do a cfdump to see what results are being returned.

Thanks, cfelf! That actually was the problem. When I removed the path and left only the collection name on the <cfsearch>, the application worked.

Thanks again, Pamela
