Thanks again Nando, Phillip, and Dave, and others who responded.  I am
currently using Verity.


I asked a few co-workers at first and they suggested that Verity would
not work correctly.  And from the little bit that I knew of cfcollection
(which was very little) I didn't believe that it would work either so I
never seriously looked at the docs for it.  I know, my mistake!  I guess
the docs should always be looked at...no matter what you hear!


It does the functionality that I was looking for (i.e. NOT, AND "", OR).
I really appreciate ya'll's help -
  Frank

You can index database content using Verity and the CFINDEX tag. You
can't
easily index the generated pages that use that content, but it's very
easy
to index the content itself. Then, when someone searches Verity, the
search
results can contain the primary keys of the relevant records, and you
can
easily display links to pages that show those records.
