I've done this. When the user types in a non existing url, two things can happen on IIS: - standard IIS 404 page is loaded - CF default error template is loaded (in case user tries to access a file with an extension that is mapped to CF and I believe IIS is set to not check for the existence of that file).
One of the CGI variables (although different ones between standard 404 and CF error page, if memory serves me well) tells you which url the user tried to access, parse out the relevant bit, feed it into your search engine (or whatever logic you want to apply to it) and then display a message, or redirect. Hope this makes sense. Mischa. > Good question. But for example: www.somepage.com/computer - would display content in site regarding computers www.somepage.com/johndoe - would display content in site regarding candidate john doe. >From what I can see, it looks like a simplified/glorified search technique, >where instead of having a page for each topic, the user can type in whatever >they want and the system/site responds.

Or, a static page/directory with index page (contrary to what I stated above), where the search is cached and content pre-formatted. Is any of this making sense? Here is an example: http://www.newsvine.com/ Then, type "apple" or "hp" after .com/ and the content reflects that topic. _____________ Derrick Peavy Sales and Web Services Universal Advertising Phone: 404-786-5036 Fax: 404-370-0470 http://www.universaladvertising.com http://www.collegeadvertising.com http://www.collegeclassifieds.com ___________________________________ On Sep 13, 2006, at 9:42 AM, Teddy Payne wrote: What is your definition of tagging?
