Step 1 is to get this "content" (from your documents) inside your program. Way to go is converting the sharepoint text into xml. But you need to figure that out. You are not able to check the content of a sharepoint directly. You can also make a program which convert oustide your search program. whenever you add something to the map make the application save the content. whenever you need something get the info by calling the program with some params

You could try to setup Sharepoint search engine to look into your files. Then you call SPServices and leverage inherent power of the platform. You just have to find the documents it returns. There is some work in setting it up well, though.
