Yes, look at the List functions in the docs.

You mean something like ...
where col like '%AAA%'
or col like '%BBB%'
etc
> i.e. select * from foo where col in ('%word1%', '%word2%', etc...)
I don't think that is what you want. You want to match where word is in
col, not vice cersa.

I think you only really need to take a look at the basic CFML docs for
lists. Also, there is a search example in the example applications.
