Database vs Verity Search

Are you sure? I do not believe this is the case. If so - wouldn't it return the same SCORE value for every result? Also, the docs mention that the <MANY> keyword can be used... "Counts the density of words, stemmed variations, or phrases in a document and produces a relevance-ranked score for retrieved documents. Use with the following operators:" This is from page 504 of the Dev Guide. As it stands - the default Simple type does indeed use MANY (page 488), so it should indeed rank by # of matches. Also - the # of entries shouldn't be the only rule by which to set score. Take HTML for example. If document A had my search term in 3 <h1> tags, and document B had it 4 times in <p> tags, I'd consider the <h1> tags to be "weightier". Also - to the user asking about title searches - you CAN do this. You use the field cf_title. This is described on page 506 of the dev guide.

The ranking engine in verity is the equivalent of the "FindNoCase" function in CF. It will return a T/F. Thats it. There is no ranking in Verity based on the NUMBER of times your search term was matched (or anything else useful such as "<h1>" or "<title>"). -- =========================================================================== Raymond Camden, Camden Media Email    : ray@camdenfamily.com Blog      : www.coldfusionjedi.com AOL IM : cfjedimaster Keep up to date with the community: http://www.coldfusionbloggers.org
