What does ext:cfm mean?

I came across the term ext:cfm and don’t understand what it means. Is it a file type or something else? Can someone explain in simple terms?
 
“ext:cfm” usually refers to a file extension search filter, where “cfm” stands for ColdFusion Markup files used with Adobe ColdFusion. When you type “ext:cfm” in search engines like Google, it limits results to files ending in .cfm. These files are used to build dynamic web pages and run server-side scripts in ColdFusion applications.
 
ext:cfm is a search operator (commonly used in Google) that tells the search engine to only show results with the .cfm file extension, which stands for ColdFusion Markup files; these are dynamic web pages built using Adobe ColdFusion. So if you search something like login ext:cfm, you’re specifically looking for login pages that use ColdFusion.
