RE: desktop search recommendations

["Pinkham, Jim" <Jim -dot- Pinkham -at- voith -dot- com>]

Susan, I'm not totally sure because we're just starting to get our feet
wet with Sharepoint ourselves. There's a lot of flexibility in the
Modify and Advanced tabs of the Windows Desktop Search options, so you
might want to install and poke around a bit if you haven't. I know, for
instance, that there's an option to add a UNC path.

Thanks for the recommendation. I used Google at my last gig, and was
jsut wonderign what they'd allow here (they more uptight). And so I
asked for either WDS or Google, and sure enough they prefer WDS.

I wonder if it can look at my Sharepoint site(s)? I'm very new to using
Sharepoint, and the search feature seems to ... hmmm, what's the word
I'm looking for? Ah, right: SUCK.
