Re: Creating a knowledge base
Thanks for your reply Adam. I did have a search around and couldn't find anything. I found a mysql table, cfcollection, cfindex and cfsearch using solr engine works perfectly! The first thing I'd do is make sure I'm not simply re-inventing the wheel. Have you checked to see if someone hasn't already done this sort of thing already as an OSS project? -- Aam On 10 March 2013 12:06, Richard White rich...@re-base.net wrote: ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:355140 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Creating a knowledge base
In fact this has led me to wondering something else... We have lots of search bars for various different things all over our application. We have developed features that natively search columns in the relevant mysql columns. After seeing the capabilities of solr and cfsearch on mysql tables I fear we have re-invented the wheel with our search features. I am thinking of creating a cfcollection for each of the tables we provide search features on. Would you guys see any problem to this? Is there something against creating lots of collections and using cfsearch instead of native mysql searches?

Creating a knowledge base
Hi, I am tasked with creating a knowledge base for our web application. I have been given lots of FAQs and wondering the best way to implement it. Would The best way be to use cfcollection or to build it natively using the database (add the FAQ data into a database and search as normal) I havent much experience with coldfusion collections but are they mainly used if the FAQs were in a bunch of documents? Thanks for any support and guidance.
