Both. You're right that cfsearch doesn't, by default, search the custom[1-4] fields. (Nor the key, nor any title extracted by Verity from the document, which is especially irritating.) However, it's pretty easy to add additional criteria to the search that DO examine those fields. Say you were storing a MIME type in custom1, for example; project requirements cf_custom1:`application/msword` annual report cf_custom1:`application/pdf` design templates cf_custom1:`text/html` You can do this with ANY field in the Verity index, not just the cf_* fields. (And there's a LOT of data in those indices. Including the category information you specify in cfindex.) But those CF fields are the only information that you actually get back for display. (There's one additional complication, if you're using Internet syntax like I did above: before you can do field searches, you need to edit one of the Verity config files to enable this. Otherwise, those search terms are silently ignored.)
