Michael,
In my experience, I have played with Verity and Full Text searching. It
really depends on what you are wanting to search and how much flexibility
you are wanting to provide.
Verity is very good when it comes to things like searching .txt, .htm, .cfm,
..doc and .pdf files. I think CF 5's version of verity throws in .ppt (Power
Point Presentation) and some other file types. The downside of verity is
the fact that you have to update the collection any time you modify one file
or database entry. When I built a search recently, I incorporated CFX_Spell
and Verity along with some massaging of the search field.
