Yes and no. If a user runs a search for, say, "furniture," this might
retreive 15 adverts which would be using a query such as:
<cfquery name="getadvert" datasource="#DSN#">
SELECT * FROM advert_details
WHERE body like '%furniture%'
</cfquery>
Another user might be browsing the Computer's category:
<cfquery name="getadvert" datasource="#DSN#">
SELECT * FROM advert_details
WHERE cat = 156
</cfquery>
And so on. They use the same query name, and results are obtained by
running a template which always uses <Cfoutput query="getadvert">
I like the idea of stuffing them into an Application Var to speed things up,
but is it really plausible to put 1000+ Adverts into an App Var?
