CFDIRECTORY can only give you a file listing, along with some additional file information such as size and date last modified. You'd need to read each of those html files using CFFILE and build a query of your own, placing the file contents into rows of the table. You could cache this query, I suppose, if it doesn't consume too much memory (just a few files?), otherwise I would think if you don't want to use Verity or another indexing server such as the one provided with IIS, then you may be better off using CFDIRECTORY and CFFILE to build a database containing the file contents, then query the database.
