Eric,
Verity can handle this. The cf-wacc has a chapter on how to build a search
index against a db query, and this can be combined with searches against
flat pages.
Also cfhub has a great article on managing your indices programatically
(http://cfhub.com/tutorials/verity/index.cfm).
Assuming everything works as advertised (I have not yet actually built a
search function that will do this), that might be all you need.
Good luck!
