Description
A Verity collection is the fundamental structure underlying the search capabilities of Verity applications. A collection consists of information about a particular set of documents that are available for searching and viewing. The specific information stored for a collection includes a word index and various other indexes, plus a document table containing document field information and logical pointers to the document files. The Verity Collection Document Index Descriptor Style Set configures a word index that includes all partitions of the collection. The spanning word list is an optional index that aids fast searching.
