Some ideas to explore:

- Search Express is, I believe, free from MS and specifically for
server side install.

- Desktop Search, but I have no idea what impact it would have on a
server. If you are going down that path, I strongly advise you test
it first before going anywhere near a production server.


Please do post back and let us know what you went with as I, and
probably others, would be very interested.

Thanks,

My current valid email address is:



This is valid as is. It is not munged, or altered at all.

It will be valid for AT LEAST one month from the date of this post.

If you are trying to contact me after that time,
it MAY still be valid, but may also have been
deactivated due to spam. If so, and you want
to contact me by email, try searching for a
more recent post by me to find my current
email address.

The following is a (probably!) totally unique
and meaningless string of characters that you
can use to find posts by me in a search engine:

I hadn't heard of Search Express, but I've downloaded a copy and I'll
try it out.

I'll let the group know what I end up using.

I didn't like it. Not enough options to set to provide the sort of
searching I wanted (initially, just Outlook (ie Exchange) data
indexing).

See reply re Search V4 on your other msg.
