I dont know if this has been discussed here yet, but you can now buy your own Mini Google for small businesses!!

http://www.google.com/enterprise/mini/

The Google Mini:

Now indexes and searches up to 100,000 documents
Works with over 220 different file formats, including HTML, PDF and Microsoft Office.
Can be set up in under an hour and requires minimal ongoing administration.
Costs just £1,995 for all hardware and software, including a year of support and hardware replacement coverage.

its my first time hearing about this. thanks for that, Cal. I better check that one.

I have been using google desktop search for doing the same. On my local intranet server I have desktop search installed and I can access that with the help of the ip: port url

This is something i've come across recently
Hope this is useful

Interesting post - handy for companies.

First thing I wondered when I saw this a few months ago was do their servers really look like that? I want one!
