I already have a full working sql server 2000 full-text search engine, i am just trying to change how i process the keywords before i put them thru the search.
This question is not about searching for a search solution, this is about given a string, how can i tell if words in it are verbs or nouns or what not?
Yes, I read the question and believe I understood it. On EE, we get questions from first timers who need help with basics as well as advanced users who are trying to accomplish complex tasks. From just a few sentances, its often hard to know at what level a person requires assistance.
As I mentioned above, I know of nothing within Coldfusion (or any other language) that can help you place a precedence on words or categorize them into nouns/verbs. I believe this has to be done by matching words to a database of sometype.
I suspect you can fairly easily remove less important words by building a list of words such as "a, an, the, and, etc"
Perhaps you can build a database of words with their types from a list which may be offered from this site..

there aren't any coldfusion functions which understand language and can determine if words are verbs or nouns. If you have a limited language set, you could provide lists of words categorized as nouns/verbs and do matching to try and find the word in sentances; you would need to include the various forms of the word (run, ran, running).
