Is it possible to create and then search a collection from within a coldfusion ap?

Is possible to search a database to limit the number of pdf's to search -- then use the output from the search to create a collection index it and then keyword search the new collection all within one coldfusion ap?

[Carl Von Stetten]

Yes, that appears to be possible.  You'd query the database for the list of PDFs, then loop through the query results and use CFINDEX to index individual documents into your search collection.
