Here's what I do. I file this under the category "elegant hack".
The content that I want to index resides in a table. To over-simplify, the table contains a numeric identifier (key), text and date fields. I create a collection that indexes just text search terms (i.e. just the text fields). I have an "advanced search" interface. If the text field is a Verity term (I created a UDF that determines if the search is Verity or not), I search against my collection and return a resultset of just keys. I then create a list of those keys. Finally, I pass that list of keys (I return a max of 1,000) in to a standard SQL query "IN" statement within the WHERE clause that filters the other defined parameters of the SQL query (including any date logic). Works great, I don't have to be limited by having only 4 CUSTOM fields, it gives me far more search flexibility, and it only adds a bit of overhead to the verity search.
