Every search conducted with the CFSEARCH tag returns, as part of the record set, a
number of result columns you can reference in your CFOUTPUT:
• URL — Returns the value of the URLPATH attribute defined in the CFINDEX tag
used to populate the collection. This value is always empty when you populate
the collection with CFINDEX when TYPE="Custom".
• KEY — Returns the value of the KEY attribute defined in the CFINDEX tag used
to populate the collection.
• TITLE — Returns whatever was placed in the TITLE attribute in the CFINDEX
operation used to populate the collection, including the titles of PDF and Office
documents. If no title was provided in the TITLE attribute, CFSEARCH returns
CF_TITLE.
• SCORE — Returns the relevancy score of the document based on the search
criteria.
• CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 — Returns whatever was placed in the custom fields
in the CFINDEX operation used to populate the collection.
