Hi, guys...as is normal at a new gig, I'm trying to comb the company
document archives for existing documentation according to key words
and phrases. Windows Search is ..uhm...lacking.

What do you guys use. It needs to run against network drives and it
needs to be fast. Suggestions?


You might try Google Desktop Search. I don't know if you can trick it into indexing network drives by mapping the drives to your PC, but it might be worth checking that out. Of course, you're going to want to launch it when you go home tonight, so it can run the index over the weekend.
