Index Text Files For Search In Flash

[coldfused]

Is there a way to index txt, xml, etc. files and make the contents of those file searchable from flash? Basically we have to build a cd rom application that loads a ton of pdf files and make them keyword searchable from within the flash application. We can take all of the pdf files and extract the text from within and save out as any file that we need to.

So from within the projector file there will be a search feature when the keyword is entered flash will crawl these text files or xml files and send back results of the files that have the keywords within them and display links to the appropriate pdf files.

Is this possible without database connectivity or flashcomserver?

Just incase anyone was interested to query XML files and provide search results within flash you would use xPath. If you Google xPath and flash there are a couple nice examples out there:
