RE: sharepoint search server express 2010
Yeah my understanding is that you can add a WFE, but the search service will only ever be one server. Assuming that's true, and given that many orgs who would invest in a multi-server farm would likely buy standard, there is little disincentive to not to Search server express. I have foundation clients running it (and used the previous version also) One warning - a client of mine really did a number on his farm with a botched install of Office Web Apps on it.

RE: sharepoint search server express 2010
Brilliant thanks Brian, I guess I won't need it then, as there will be a Standard or Enterprise farm also in the environment. When you say single server, do you mean that it would have local sql as well or can this be separate?

If you want the best of both worlds, set up search server on its own box and configure it to crawl your Foundation farm (which can be running as many servers as you need) as an external site. Then you can just direct users to the search site collection on the search server to do search, everything stays in the main farm.
