Use SQLSearches.  Mark the property that you wish to search on as
Searchable.  This will create an entry in a table in your CODB called
properties, on which you can run SQL statements.

For example if I have a property called Quantity on an object and wanted to
find all objects with a Quantity bigger than 50, I would first mark the
property as 'Searchable' when creating the type.  Now when I create my
objects, Spectra will automatically populate the Properties table in my CODB
with the Quantity property of my objects.

To display all objects with a quantity bigger than 50, I can use the
following code:

<!--- Find all the objects --->
<CFQUERY Datasource="MyApplication" Name="BigObjects">
        SELECT ObjectID
        FROM Properties
        WHERE PropertyName='Quantity' AND numericdata > 50
</CFQUERY>

<!--- Display them --->
<cfa_contentObject Datasource="#Request.datasource.dsn#" 
                         lObjectIDs="#ValueList(BigObjects.ObjectID)#" 
                         method="Display">


BTW. If it would be much quicker to code your original statements as:

  <cfa_contentObjectGetMultiple Datasource="XXX" TypeID="XXXXX"
r_stObjects="#stObjects#" bActiveOnly="NO">

  <CFLOOP Collection="#stObjects#" Item="ObjectID">

      <CFSET stparentloc = stObjects[ObjectID]>
 
      <!--- Do if statement, (you don't need the hashes, (or pound signs if
your American!)) --->
        <cfif variable1 eq stparentloc.name>
           .............
          .............
       </cfif>

  </CFLOOP>

Any mistakes don't blame me, I'm doing this off the top of my head :-)
