If you want separate search indexes (perhaps one for blog entries versus one for content) then you would want/need to do this.

Assuming you have a CFC handling your persistence, it is one line in the save method, one line in delete. I just went through this with my own blog.

(To be clear though, I haven't tested this.) So if your system did move from 1 to N, it should be relative simply to also switch to one central Solr server too. To be clear - I'm not arguing GSA isn't worth it - just not agreeing with Solr being that difficult to use. :) > > -- =========================================================================== Raymond Camden, Adobe Developer Evangelist Email : [email protected] Blog : www.raymondcamden.com Twitter: cfjedimaster ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:354979 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
