Hi I would like to add a search engine to my server so that users can search all documents etc that I place on the server (in the INETPUB folder)is there a method for indexing already built in to IIS?


Only the good die young, me I'm here forever :)
 
There are a ton of third party apps for this.

If you use SharePoint with SQL server then you can enable full text search for the site.

Otherwise there is not a native way to do this. You could try writing some code in ASP.Net if you know that, otherwise I would say go with the 3rd party tools.

Note that those tools are for searching a web site and not the entire server. You may need to alter your approach/site design.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
 
Have you checked out the Google search tools? I think there is a search engine you can install and use for free.
