To add, and you are right, I haven't used verity in CF7 - I avoid it like the plague (plus we are tied into using FAST ESP methinks).
Does Verity in CF7 still lock users out of a collection/search when it indexes? If it does, that alone indicates a poor search tool. Don't get me wrong, like I said, Verity is great tool for small sites and for CF bods to point it to location and say make it searchable, but it is in no way an enterprise level tool anymore. On the cuff of me calling it crap, what can you say that Verity offers me which would change my mind (in comparison to other tools such as Google, FAST etc?) I would wager not that much if any. -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 November 2005 15:32 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Ceiling of Verity collections... Well. I certainly can't say I agree with you. Your experience is your experience of course. That being said - I think you are very wrong to say Verity in CF7 is crap. Have you checked the docs on all the changes that were included in Verity/CF7? There are some very powerful features. If you have not - then you should not be calling it crap.
