RE: Hightlight Tag Broken, Verity Search Alternative?
On an alternate search solution, Macromedia included an alternate in devkit 3 called lindex, built on lucene (see Apache.org, under Jakarta). I think New Atlanta's BD may use this engine. Only pitfall is that its not multi-language. However, to quote the MM site: Lindex, short for 'Lucene index,' is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine that allows developers to create document collections for easy indexing and quick searching. Because the Lindex interface is similar to Verity Search Engine, it will already be familiar to ColdFusion developers. The advantage of Lindex over Verity is that Lindex is pure Java and ColdFusion, so it can be ported to any platform, including Mac OS X.

All, I've got a couple of quick-hit bugs (hopefully) that are driving me batty.

I'm pretty-well tested when it comes to being on current, stable versions, etc. etc. That said, upon pushing a site to production... I have a custom tag that is cf_highlight for highlighting text. When I run a search and append the highlight=#searchterm# it MASSIVELY breaks the page on the site, where locally there is no issue and it works great (with the exception of actually figuring out how to apply a true highlight (background color)). I'm running Verity, and frankly, I find it a little confusing and more difficult than it seems to need to be. It seems as if it's going to be quite the undertaking to actually figure out how to search by specific parameters--basically, I'm wondering if anyone can make any recommendations as to an alternative search solution; this isn't a make-it or break-it feature on my site, and truthfully it's more there for my own experience and as a nice to have, but I don't want to resort to plugging in someone else's branded search box or whatever.

RE: Hightlight Tag Broken, Verity Search Alternative?
I havent used the cf_highlight tag so I don't know how much different or similar this may be but I've used this one quite a bit and it works great. It is a modified version of a function originally written by Ray Camden. http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=133 just tell it the string to search and the keyword to highlight -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Now, if I can just figure out an alternative search solution--you know, like the Idiot's Guide To Building Your Own Search Engine On Your Site, order may be partially restored to the universe. My universe, anyway. Thanks again! ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
