Zane:

        I have similar desires. I have one server that basically collects all of my
stuff and I want to index that so I can do a search on it from elsewhere in
the house. I'll check out the link. Thanks.

Are you looking to run it on just one server, or against all the
systems on your home network? I run SWISHesi on my OpenVMS server.
I'm not sure what all SWISH-E runs on, but it looks like it supports
WinNT among others. http://swish-e.org/ I honestly have no idea
what it would take to get it to run against multiple systems as, all
I care about is running it against one drive.
