The cfsearch tag returns a query object whose columns you can reference in a cfoutput tag. For
example, the following code specifies a search for the exact terms "filming" or "filmed":
<cfsearch
name = "mySearch"
collection = "myCollection"
criteria = '<WILDCARD>`film{ing,ed}`'
type="explicit"
startrow=1
maxrows = "100">
<cfdump var = "#mySearch#>
