After a bit of rethinking, we're considering starting our indexing and
search strategy from scratch. I think SiteServer is about to get the dump.

We have a Windows NT/2000, Unix, Linux, and Network Appliance (shared
Win/*nix box) and are looking for a tool to index these types of files for
full-text searching, maintaining user permissions even in the search
results:*
.txt
.html
.doc
.xls
.pdf (I know this one's a stretch)
probably others that I'm too fried to remember but I suspect it's not
possible anyway, so what difference does it make?

*As in, we know if the user sees results but tries to access something he
doesn't have at least read access to, he'll be denied. We don't even want
them to see it in the search results. SiteServer does this well for Windows
only implementations.

Am I dreaming?
