Verity is a search engine that's built into CF. Look at the CF docs for the
tags CFCOLLECTION (to create a verity search index), CFINDEX (to populate
that search index from documents or query results) and CFSEARCH (to search
that index for your desired results). Judith makes a good point: the Verity
search engine provides built-in support for complex search criteria
(including not just AND/OR, LIKE, etc but also STEM, NEAR, STARTS, ENDS and
lots more.
Besides the CFML Language Reference Manual, see also the Developing Web
Applications with CF manual, chapter 11 (Indexing and Searching Data). The
second manual does a much better job of explaining things than do the tag
references alone.
