Our jobbank program needs an upgrade.  Currently, the resumes are pasted into 
FCKeditor and stored in a database in HTML format.  However, this doesn't seem 
to be getting the job done, and we've received a deluge of complaints and 
demands for the ability to just upload a pdf/word document.  Many of the job 
seekers have had trouble getting their resume looking just write because of all 
the spaces & other weird stuff people put in word documents.

We've gone through several upgrades and filters the post processing of resumes, 
but we still can't get it to look right.

Here's how the search results work now:

The solution we're considering now is to allow job seekers to cut & paste their 
resume OR just upload it.  But that will mean indexing the folder of resumes 
(all PDFs or Word Docs) as a collection so it can be searched on.

I've made collections before and its no big deal, but I've never had to combine 
it with a SQL search too.  

Basically, I need to upgrade my resume search program from a strict SQL search 
based on "like'%string%" to one that combines SQL searchs with searches on a 
directory full of word and PDF documents and is somehow able to link those 
documents back to a user, and then display the search results in exactly the 
same way it currently does.

Has anyone done anything like this and do you have any suggestions for how to 
proceed?
