I don't think this is directly possible. However, there's no reason why you couldn't index your files and your database content separately. Then, when someone searches, have them query both collections, and go through the results and match your database entries to your file entries, then present them as if they were a single set of search results. You'd need to store the file path and name in the database to do this easily, I think.
