Hey Ray, We have all used Verity for a while now but it is a dying product - the simple fact it has been bought out by Autonomy for what is in corporate terms a measly sum is a pretty good indication. We had some global meetings about search a few months again and we had all the big wigs there - Google, Altavista, Fast and all of them regard Verity as dead in the water and no longer viable for search. A lot of these companies are already planning for when people look elsewhere.
Verity (bundled in ColdFusion) is poor, it a 2many or none" search engine which is crap. Can you see Google or MSN Search being successful with a Verity Engine? No, not in the slightest. It is no longer an Enterprise Level search engine. It is clumsy. For sure it is easy for CF developers but in this day and age where search is king - verity just does not cut it. AFAIK, MM may not have put it into CF7 - so I do not expect it to be in CF8.

This certainly doesn't mean that Verity is dead and dying of course, just like the purchase of Macromedia by Adobe doesn't mean the end of Verity. Neil - I'd still like you to back up why you think Verity is dying and will not be in CFMX8. -r On 11/29/05, John Beynon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > bought by autonomy > > http://www.verity.com/company/press/releases/11042005_PR.html > > jb > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
