No probs at alll Marco, thanks for your input also. Ive had a mess around with verity collections and its all very straightforward indeed. I created a site search tool in about 15 minutes.
Simply a case of creating/indexing the collection within cf admin, then build a simple <form> that contains the field to hold the search keyword and submit the form to a search results page that simply uses <cfsearch> to query the verity collection and use various other elements of the cfsearch tag to display the results. Ive not really had many opportunities to mess about with Verity, but it makes site searching very simple indeed.
