I just started a Verity search engine for a very large site, and have gotten
the following error message a couple of times:

There was a problem while attmpting to perform a search. ------

error occurred on line 36.

The tag for the search is as follows:

<cfsearch collection="#form.collect#" language="English" type="SIMPLE"
criteria="#Session.searchTerm#" name="Session.results">

on line 36.

I have not been able to reproduce the error, and there isn't anything strange
about the search terms submitted.

This is the first time I've used Verity, and would appreciate any words of
wisdom as to what might be the cause of this error, and how to eliminate it.
