CFMX Verity Bug: Searching the CF_TITLE Field
Since I seem to be working a lot with Verity again lately, I thought I'd pass along another bug I found recently. There's a bug in the Verity search engine in MX that wasn't there in CF 5. The bug has to do with using CFSEARCH to search document fields. You are supposed to search the defined fields CF_TITLE, CF_KEY, CF_URL, CF_CUSTOM1, and CF_CUSTOM2 using operators and modifiers in the CRITERIA attribute of the CFSEARCH tag like this:

This should return all documents containing "LDAP" in the title as defined in the CF_TITLE field. This works as intended in CF 5. However, it is broken in CFMX. In CFMX, it returns no results (I indexed the ColdFusion Docs), when the collection clearly contains documents with "LDAP" in the title.

There is a workaround. For some reason, if you change the CRITERIA to "TITLE LDAP", the search works correctly. I've submitted this as a bug to Macromedia, so we'll see if it gets fixed in a future updater.
