To optimize search performance, always specify the
maxrows attribute, setting it to a value that
matches your application’s needs. A value less than 300 helps to ensure optimal performance.
Macromedia does not recommend using the
cflock tag with this tag; Verity provides the locking
function. Using the
cflock tag slows search performance.
