Ray, My guess is that IBM is not a "word" and that you are using the default "simple syntax" which uses the WORD, MANY and STEM operators. STEM is aware of the "English" language, I think. In any case, look at the "score" (or rank, I can't remember) of your returned result. I bet their scores are low. If so, I think the culprit is the MANY operator or a misbehaving STEM operator (maybe it is not *that* smart). :P
I would suggest looking at the "Explicit syntax", and perform a translation of what the user entered to the equivalent Verity Query. It is the same process as converting a search criteria to SQL. ;) CF-Verity Query Language Reference (for v5 and below?): http://livedocs.macromedia.com/cf50docs/Developing_ColdFusion_Applicatio ns/indexSearch7.jsp#1096786 Good luck! ------------------------------- James Ang Sr. Developer/Product Engineer MedSeek, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Ray Bujarski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 1:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Verity issues I am using verity to do searches on a 4.5 cfml server. I have indexed a number of fields in the database so I am using custom type indexing. A very strange issue I am having is that I do a search for keyword "IBM" and I am getting result sets back that don't contain IBM at all, I am however getting back things like UMC which the only relation I can see is that they are both acronyms. Does anyone know why verity would be finding things like this in the index when I clearly specified something completely different? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
