verity results question

Running CFMX7, my verity collection works great, but when I output the results below I get the whole server path to the file instead of just the file name. Anyone know why?

<cfoutput query="FindItems"><a href="#FindItems.url#" TARGET="_blank">#FindItems.title#</a></cfoutput>

    unless you are using vspider to crawl and index your site, Verity will
    treat the files as files on disk, not as webpages of your site. it will
    even index the source code of your pages, not the rendered output.

    you could try using replace() function on the #url# var to replace the
    relevant part of the file path with corresponding web path
    http://www.yourdomain.com/ ...

    for example, if the url returned is "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\somesite\index.cfm
    you could do
    #replacenocase(url, "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\somesite\",
    " http://www.somesite.com/")#

    Try it like this and see if that works
    <cfoutput query="FindItems">
    <a href="#url#" TARGET="_blank">#title#</a>
    </cfoutput>
