CF Search Engine Tags/Techniques?

2005-10-11 Thread Jake McKee
I'm building a non-Verity search engine into one of my apps. At this 
point, what I have is a VERY basic SQL LIKE query.

Can anyone point me to any resources, articles, tags, etc. that would 
help me expand the complexity of the search (and thus quality of results)?

Thanks!
Jake

Jake,

Do you have a reason why Verity is not an option?

If not, I would recommend using Verity (or Lucene) for better search results. 
If you go to Ray Camden's site and search for Verity, you can find several 
good articles written on the topic.
http://ray.camdenfamily.com/

If Verity or Lucene aren't options then LIKE queries are the best option of 
which I am aware (this is a very good list, so chances are high that someone 
else has a better answer).

HTH,

Steve

 Jake,
 
 Do you have a reason why Verity is not an option?

Long story short, I'm trying to keep the functionality CF based because I need 
the app to be easy to use/install, as well as functional on a shared host.

I'm not as familiar with Verity as I should be - can it address those two 
things?

You could of course set up scripts that made the installation easier as far
as verity goes but you may run into problems on a shared host with it.
