Take a look at Atomz http://www.atomz.com I think they do what your 
looking for. I've never used them but I've seen a demo.

I'm not familiar with FreeFind, but it seems to me that you can probably get
where you want using the bundled version of Verity that comes with CF. Or,
if you're using MS SQL Server and/or IIS, you can use Microsoft's full-text
search functionality. You can certainly customize both the search and
results interfaces in either case.
