Why don't place the complete URL in the Custom1 field? You can also
concatenate multiple values together by using a predefined delimiter and
return the results that way. Another option, is to store a WDDX packet as
one of the CustomX fields-that way you can deserialize it and you have what
ever information you need available. I normally just stick to using a list
to store my values
For example:
<CFQUERY NAME="GetData" DATASOURCE="#Request.DSN#">
SELECT Pkey, Description, Name, ItemNo & "^" Price1 & "^" & Price2 AS
Custom1
</CFQUERY>
<CFINDEX
ACTION="REFRESH"
TYPE="CUSTOM"
COLLECTION="#collection#"
QUERY="GetData"
KEY="PKey"
TITLE="Name"
BODY="Description"
CUSTOM1="Custom1"
CUSTOM2="">
Now the Custom1 field would contain a list holds the item of a product and 2
pricing models-with each item separated by the caret symbol. You could of
course store as many things in the list as you wanted.

Subject: RE: organizing search results for multiple collection searches
That's a good idea except that I use custom1 and custom 2 to construct the
url to go to. Custom1 is the url (minus the key) and custom2 is the key
that points to the specific result. it's unfortunate that I have to use
both customs, but for some of the collections the "key" is not the actual
key, it's another key which is repeated. (like searching for contributors
to a product..one product could have multiple contributors..)
wish there were a custom3. or I wish that I could store my url in the URL
field but that doesn't work.

Subject: Re: organizing search results for multiple collection searches
The way I've done it is to show a graphic next to the link which defines
which collection it is from.... but first you need to define your custom1 or
custom2 during the cfindex process.
Example...
<cfindex action="Refresh"
collection="daily"
key="id"
type="CUSTOM"
title="title"
query="daily"
body="body"
custom1="DD">
<cfsearch collection="daily, etc..., etc..." name="results" type="SIMPLE"
criteria="#form.searchVARIABLE#" language="English">
<cfoutput query="results">
<cfif custom1 is "DD">
...(show percentage, image, summary)
<cfelseif custom1 is "COMP">
...(show percentage, image, summary)
<cfelse>
....(show percentage, image, summary)
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
Hope this helps,
