I believe that Verity treats the BODY as one big text block, and so there is
no easy way to filter on a particular field. You might want to follow the
thread I just started called "Need help planning search system"; its a very
similar topic. I want to use Verity for its text indexing features, but I
also need an efficient way to filter out records by the data in a specific
field. In other words, if the user specifies that they want to see items
for Brand ID 8, I don't want records for Dept ID 8 showing up as well.
Hope you find a solution,
Seth
