Well, bro, my test was a simple one. I had dis batch o' PDF's that Verity
bombed out on all th' time. So I'z whipped out my gat on those suckas an'
capped 'em wit' dtSearch's 30-day trial copy. It wuz da bomb! Dem PDFs was
indexed' an' I wuz puttin' my thang down all over 'em. So I went back to my
crib and cold chilled for a half hour thinkin' 'bout how Veity was so
whack, an' how if I moved site searching over to a separate box, my CF box
would be totally tight wit' dat, since it'd be focusing on delivering CF
content instead o' servin' as some document slave, dishin' out search
results to th' masses.
Yo, peep dis: Dat dtSearch thang was pretty tight, and I'm totally down wit'
dat.
An' cuzz, I had th' URL right dere in th' message. But cuz' you jus' a po
blin' foo, here's th' hookup: www.dtsearch.com ...
yo.
