The biggest problem for using CF to do something like this is the lack of
(current) flush - What I mean is that if a search engine is particularly
slow, then nothing will be sent to the broswer until the whole thing is
built on the server
Other search engines do a similar thing, but they don't use CF - www.c4.com
is a damn good example of how it's done, but they use a bit of Push
technology to tell it when to jump to the next page...
I personally wouldn't write a search engine searcher in CF, but maybe that's
just me...
