As you said, I think it is a case of agree to disagree ;-p I really don't like Verity - but then again I have used others to compare it to - and Verity is nothing compared to them,

If it does, that alone indicates a poor search tool. Afaik no. In the past you had to go lock heavy w/ Verity. You no longer need to do that. > 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. To be honest I don't know. I haven't used either of them. As I said, they may certainly be better, even loads better, but Verity/CF is free and included in the product, so before spending more money, or integrating something else like Lucene, one should take a look. -Ray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:225558 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
