Eric,
Xindice would work, but the current version might be a bit slow.   There
are plans for a full text indexer.   However, currently, you would have to
do an "XPath" query using "contains".   That will search, the entire
document.   Probably not as fast as you would like.   Once the
full text indexer comes out, then it should work fine.   It depends on
your time frame.

Xindice is well suited to returning individual Chapters and all the
other items, if you break it up into the right set of documents and
collections.   I haven't used FrameMakers' xml so, I don't know
how it stores the documents.

HTH,

Mark
