You have to mask your URL variable so your URLs look like
http://www.hofstra.edu/Admissions/index_Admissions.cfm/type/rm/link/Admissions
This is done by code in the application.CFM. This trick has been floating around the
list for a long time. You have to do this if you want ANY search engine to spider your
pages.
I can't comment on why Spectra uses physical pages. Many people populate containers
dynamically and use only a few pages - we don't do that - we do have pages. You can
take a look at our site and Search features to see if it is what you are looking for.
It is at http://www.hofstra.edu
If you want, I can send you the code off-list that we use in the application.cfm.

When working with spiders, can I use url parameters to display information
based on that url paramater? The approach Andy gave is (for what I see) not
suitable for using url paramaters. Is this the reason why Spectra generates
physic pages when you use page templates?

Johan

Subject: RE: Searching through pages instead of objects
I didn't see your original post, but we use a spider based indexer to index
the pages instead of verity or SQL. Threre are several you can buy or you
can use an ASP like Atomz which is what we ended up doing because of all the
features they had.

Could try this to create an index of all objects currently published onto
pages.
It's what I've used in 1.01 and directly accesses the sitecomposition table
so probably doesn't work in 1.5.
It also wouldn't work properly if you use any personalisation rules in your
containers since the user that runs the indexer wouldn't have any options
set to show content.
It also needs cfx_pcregex which you can download from the tag gallery and I
suspect the sql I've used may only work with Oracle.
Anyway, it may give you a start for your own indexing.

Andy
