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.
