RE: Searching remote servers in your own company

Web servers.  But these are Windows 200x corporate fileservers. They
don't run extra stuff like apache on 'em.  Or am I missing something
obvious?

I'm thinking of something along the lines of batch-able grep, possibly
outputting to a file with my userid in the name, to a standard place,
that could then be read by me (or by whoever instigated a search. The
directory would need to be purged daily or weekly of accumulated search
results. The result file would be nothing more than a text file
containing file paths that could be pasted into Windows Explorer.
