While we're discussing verity searches, is there any way to create a search
engine using a verity collection that will ignore MS FrontPage directories
(vti_*) and will only index files using certain extensions?

I've been looking for an optimized text search engine and would be
interested in people's opinions on Verity vs. Microsoft Search. Verity
has some problems for me such as the default OR option, incremental
updates, and questions of scalability. I also question the lifespan of
this product since, I think, it's based on Verity '97 and verity has
since moved on and diversified it's product line. Is verity dying and
Microsoft Search coming alive? Even so does verity currently work better
than Microsoft Search? The docs on Search portray it as an entry level
product, does anyone have any experience with big loads on it? Any input
on a high load, frequently updating database text search would be great.
