Sharepoint and SCORM metadata

Hello everyone...I am a learning content developer using an LMS compatible with SCORM 1.2, which I understand SharePoint supports. I am in the process of preparing some of our content to be searchable through a SharePoint interface.

Having never used SharePoint and lacking a way to test it, I was hoping somebody here might be able to give me a rundown of SharePoint's search capabilities with regard to SCORM metadata tags. The LMS we are using allows one to get very specific with metadata for each object; I can have any number of metadata groups with any number of self-defined freeform text fields, dropdown boxes, etc. What I want to ensure is that I don't assign important search criteria to areas SharePoint will not be able to distinguish between.

As an example, let's say I create two metadata groups for each object. The first group has a dropdown box allowing me to select "A", "B" or "C", and two freeform text fields labeled "Foo" and "Bar". The second group has radio buttons labeled "One" and "Two". When I export these learning objects and run a SharePoint query, will I be able to construct a search such that I only get objects with "One" and "B" selected and specific values entered into "Foo" and "Bar"? If not, what sorts of groups/fields would I be advised to use?

A bit of a tall order, I know, but I just need the basics. Any advice is very much appreciated.
