ColdFusion Administrator Extension - Verity Searcher

I wrote a handy little tool today. Drop the zip into your ColdFusion Administrator folder, edit the custommenu.xml file to point to it, and you've now got a simple tool to let you run test searches against Verity collections. Here is a screen shot:

When matches are found, I use pagination, but the actual data is just dumped out. I could have done this all sexy and Ajaxy, but I figured a one file solution that also worked in ColdFusion 7 would be nice as well.

You can download the code below. I have another extension coming out later this week. This will join my SpoolMail project and Scott's Flogr as must-have add ons to your ColdFusion Admin. (Well, I think they are must-haves, but I'm biased. :)

p.s. Anyone know how I can map a Windows drive to my Mac?

LifeHacker has a good article on mapping Windows files from OSX:

Right click on Windows Folder (or entire drive) , select sharing; share the folder with the permissions you need.

Assuming your mac is on the same network, go to Finder > Network, click on the workgroup your windows machine is in, click on the computer and mount the folder you've shared (should be a list of the shared folders); that;s it; should appear in finder underneath your Hard Drives.

Love the verity searcher. I had a scribble file I used, but always had to manually edit the criteria and collection name before running.

Thanks for sharing.
