Try using the DISTINCT attribute in your search.
<cfquery name="newsSearch" datasource="#database#" dbtype="ODBC">
SELECT DISTINCT fieldname
FROM tblNews
WHERE StartDate LIKE '%#trim(form.search1)#%'
OR NewsHeader LIKE '%#trim(form.search1)#%'
OR NewsBody LIKE '%#trim(form.search1)#%'
ORDER BY StartDate DESC
</cfquery>
OR
Put the letter field name you are getting dupes in as the FIRST field in
your ORDER BY
the in your output do a GROUP attribute.
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="newsSearch" GROUP="fieldname">
<CFOUTPUT>
#stuffage#
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFOUTPUT>

Subject: Multiple search results
Hello CF people...
My search results display more than 1 result of each record found. For
example, if I search for the letter C, the same record will be displayed
twice because the field searched will have the letter C twice in that field.
Can this be fixed/corrected?
My code used on the action page as follows:
***************************
<cfquery name="newsSearch" datasource="#database#" dbtype="ODBC">
SELECT *
FROM tblNews
WHERE StartDate LIKE '%#trim(form.search1)#%'
OR NewsHeader LIKE '%#trim(form.search1)#%'
OR NewsBody LIKE '%#trim(form.search1)#%'
ORDER BY StartDate DESC
</cfquery>
**************************
Thank you for your help...
