sure, there are a number of ways, depending the location of the content you wish to search.
but they can be built in delphi, director, flash, or even html/javascript...(although the latter is a poor substitute for a real app).
i know flashkit has a nice xml based, flash search engine that would probably work for a cdrom app.
and, with delphi, it is possible to build 'static' databases that will work confined on a cdrom (save for the fact you can't add or edit the db while on the cd) so you can build both the front end and backend for a cdrom, with search capabilities - if the db is that large.
i have built pricing software that functions solely on cd...the database was like 300 meg, so we had to have a way of looking up product id, prices, etc.
so, yes, its possible.
