Sorry to keep beating this search horse but there really is a lack of decent
documentation.
I'll try to compress all my questions into this one mail.
Anyhow I'm using Verity to do database searches. I have about 8 collections
that I can search from or do a full site (all catalog) search. I use a
CFX_querysort tag to sort the results by the catalog which does that just
fine, but for some reason it puts the results in decending order of score.
This tag allows me to sort by two columns so I set it to sort by category
first and then score but that didn't work. In the C appendix of the WACK
Forta talks about different ways to show search criteria but none of them
seem to work. The complement tag returns too many results (over 64k) and
the product and sum tags don't work at all. Basically I need to fnid a way
to score my searches ebtter (and display them corerctly)
ok question 2:
Is there a decent way to allow a user to search on the search results?
question 3: Is there an easy way to limit a page to 50 results at a time?
(I know you can output 50 rows or the search query, I'm just curious how to
get the 50 more)
I'm also going to try to implement an advanced search (limit results by date
perhaps). One thought on this links into the question above about searching
on a result set. They'd first do a search for something and then perhaps
sort those results by date. However I don't have the date passed in as a
seperate field (custom 1 is the click url, custom 2 is the catalog it came
from). The date is clumped in with the summary. I have the key and the
catalog name so I could query the individual databases but for multiple word
searches it could be difficult (which is why I'm using verity to begin
with).
If anyone could hlp me with any of this issues it would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Brian
