I actually tried to put everything in custom1 (the url I mean).
ex: Custom1="http://www.mysite.com/component/show_component.cfm?id=#key#"
but that actually just outputs it verbatim (instead of replacing key with
the value.)

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.

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.

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,
