I don't know about your client var problem, but I beleve the CF documentation says somewhere it is a bad idea to allow verity searches to happen whilst some sort of management of the collection is going on eg a re-index. I consequently use an application var which is checked before a CFSEARCH is allowed to happen and if it is false then a message pops up saying something like "Sorry, the search engine is unavailable, please try again in a few minutes"
