Scott,
I've been looking into this problem also (in my spare time :-)
and am intrigued with a Xerox product, called Docushare, which
they are now selling as software only (previously you had to buy
one of their machines). This product runs as a server (on a server?),
so I've not yet had a chance to do more than read the web site info
& look at their example sites. You might want to do the same:
If anyone on the list has experience with Docushare,
I'd love to hear it!

Subject: search tool?
I am trying to organize a large amount of my company's internal
documentation. This documentation (made up primarily of microsoft
applications) is currently stored in a single directory on a lan drive.
Given the large amount of files in this directory, I'm looking for a way for
any member of our company to easily hunt down any specific file within that
one directory. I need some advice on what technologies could do this
effectively.
I'm new with this kind of stuff, and any comments would be greatly
appreciated.
