Re: cfindex/cfsearch help with dates
Here's what I do. I file this under the category "elegant hack". The content that I want to index resides in a table. To over-simplify, the table contains a numeric identifier (key), text and date fields. I create a collection that indexes just text search terms (i.e. just the text fields). I have an "advanced search" interface. If the text field is a Verity term (I created a UDF that determines if the search is Verity or not), I search against my collection and return a resultset of just keys. I then create a list of those keys. Finally, I pass that list of keys (I return a max of 1,000) in to a standard SQL query "IN" statement within the WHERE clause that filters the other defined parameters of the SQL query (including any date logic). Works great, I don't have to be limited by having only 4 CUSTOM fields, it gives me far more search flexibility, and it only adds a bit of overhead to the verity search.

RE: cfindex/cfsearch help with dates
Ray, PROBLEM SOLVED Here's how I ended up doing it: First, I had to store my 'modifiedDate' value in custom1 with an identifier (since I was already using custom1 and custom2 for other values), so it looks like this: custom1= "identifier|mm/dd/|" Then, before my CFSEARCH, I created 7 variables with the last 7 days in them respectively formatted like this: Day0 = |08/19/2005| Day1 = |08/18/2005| Day2 = |08/17/2005| and so on... Then, my And finally...it works.. I need no Query of Queries anymore and I avoided creating two separate collections. The keys to this solution were twofold. One, you have to use 'cf_' prefixed to your cfsearch results field (i.e. cf_custom1, cf_title) to search it. I found this FINALLY in the docs, and of course the other was figuring out how to store the date in a field that was already occupied, and by using the pipes, I can properly identify the date now.

Re: cfindex/cfsearch help with dates
You can't do a comparison like that. What I meant was to use CUSTOM1
with 2 strings, New or Old. Then in your search, you would do
#form.searchterms# and CUSTOM1 New
This says - search on the value of form.searchterms AND restrict it to
where CUSTOM1 contains New.

RE: cfindex/cfsearch help with dates
Is it possible to specify values for the custom1 or custom2 field in my
CFSEARCH tag? I don't find that in the docs.
Can I add this to my criteria?:
custom1 >= #dateadd('d',-7,now())#
or something like that?
I'm going to try something like this. I'll let you know how it works...

Re: cfindex/cfsearch help with dates
After rereading your post, I believe the doc is referring to the indexing of files, like Word docs, that have a date property. I don't believe you can do this with custom indexes.

Re: cfindex/cfsearch help with dates
I'm not sure why it isn't working, but you could use QueryOfQuery to rename the column back to Date.

cfindex/cfsearch help with dates
Hi, I found this quote in the docs for MX 6.1 under 'composing search expressions': "if a document field named DATE is defined, you can search for documents dated prior to and including December 31, 1999 by entering DATE <= 12-31-99 in your search." Now, if this is true, theoretically I could return a query with a date I want to search by, and when I do my cfindex, I would specify it like this? Then, when I search on this index, i could say search for: "stuff AND DATE >= 01-01-05" This would return only the documents which have a 'date' greater than Jan. 1 of this year AND have the word 'stuff' in them. Now, here's my problem...it seems that Oracle won't allow me to alias a column in the table I'm getting the query from as 'DATE'. So, I tried this with the actual date field, call it 'DateField' and did my index like this: So, then I tried the query but used DateField >= instead of DATE >= and it still doesn't work. So now I'm beginning to wonder if there is there a way to query a collection by a date field. If so, what am I doing wrong?
