I can't absolutely say whether CF looks or not because I don't know what the
underlying discovery mechanism is.
What I have tested is putting test.cfc in 3 folders:
The webroot
A folder that has a ColdFusion mapping called '/'
The same folder as the calling template.
Each component has the following code:
<cfcomponent>
<cfset this.filepath = getCurrentTemplatePath()>
</cfcomponent>
The calling template does this:
<cfset myObject = createObject('component','/test')>
<cfdump var="#myObject#">
<cfset myObject = createObject('component','test')>
<cfdump var="#myObject#">
I've tried this with and without the cfc in the webroot, and without the CF
mapping.
In each test, the second call always loads the component from the same
directory as the calling template.
I'm not sure what the problem would be with using CFCs from cfczone.org as I
haven't looked at any of them.
Can you explain a bit more?

Does CF looks there even if already "discovered" bar.cfc? Doesn't it cache
the reference to bar.cfc and keep reusing it?
I sincerely would love to get some feedback on this, thanks.

I am playing more or less with the same idea, since it looks like the safer
option I have on a shared box.
I just can't figure out a decent solution for single CFCs, like the ones
available from cfczone.org...
