I'll buy it in a heartbeat! I KNOW there has GOT to be a better way. Were using COMPUTERS, after all. This is what computers LIKE to do. It's just that nobody is plugging into it. Since the general feeling is that the WIN 2000 Indexing Service creates too much overhead, that's o.k. The general search operation works great as it is- so if you could somehow tap into that feature- that would be a MAJOR Poser upgrade, I think.
