If you have CF8, you can use reMatch(). If you don't have CF8, you can use reFind(), but it is not as easy.
Depending on the length of the string, I would have the database perform a replace() operation when querying the value. I would replace the term with a special character such as the bel or tab characters. Then, I would use listLen() to see how many list items exist.
