I have a verity collection and a cf search displaying results. My question is, can I strip the html from the results? The table the results is pulling from is a content table and the field contains html which is blowing out the tables. I have attached my results page. Any thoughts?

don;t forget to account for the fact that the returned snippet of
content can end in the middle of an html tag, so that the tag will not
be a full tag, i.e. the content may well end with ...<a href="somepa

the best thing to do is strip html tags when you index the collection,
not at output.

Another comment - if your content is very large and valid XML (XHTML) then you will get better performance using XSLT to convert to plain text. Regex, especially with global replacement "all" get slower as the content gets longer.

I strip the html/tags when indexing the collection so no need to do anything on output of results. You could do it on result display as well. I use a regex to remove tags. You could probably simplify the regex.

Actually this will work fine to strip tags:
