Beginning to use verity for something more sophisticated than finding a word or phrase and, to illustrate my noob status with Verity I have just come across wildcard.

But I want to be able to do a search for NAS (as in Network Attached Storage) and find any product with NAS in it, but not find things like Pa nasonic. At present I am using:

<cfsearch collection="products" criteria="*#lcase(searchterm)#*" name="prodSearch">

Really in search of anything to make inbuilt Verity more intelligent.

i hope that i understand your question.

verity have this operations to search:

Wildcards - regular expression style use of ?, *, [], -, ^
Evidence operators - STEM, WILDCARD, WORD
Proximity operators - NEAR, PARAGRAPH, PHRASE, SENTENCE
Relational operators - CONTAINS, MATCHES, STARTS, ENDS, SUBSTRING
Concept operators - AND, OR, ACCRUE
Score operators - YESNO, PRODUCT, SUM, COMPLEMENT

and the following type param:
simple: STEM and MANY operators are implicitly used.
explicit: operators must be invoked explicitly. Also known as Bool_Plus.
internet: for documents that are mostly WYSIWIG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) documents. Also known as Internet_advanced.
internet_basic: minimizes search time.
natural: specifies the Query By Example (QBE) parser. Also known as FreeText.

you can do your searchs like:
<cfsearch collection="products" type="explicit"
criteria = '<wildcard>`bor{ing,ed}`' name="prodSearch">


tell me with you have some extra question
