So my question is, are there any MacPorts that might be useful for, say, the ability to search server volumes via a web interface (perhaps an Apache module)? I'm still looking around but I haven't found much and I'm kind of surprised because it strikes me as a very useful feature.
This could probably be done by setting up a CGI process to run Spotlight queries using mdfind on the server. CGI is very old-school, but I use it as the back end for a couple of iPhone apps I've developed, and it works just fine. For CGI, you can use Perl, Python, or even shell, I believe--whatever you are most comfortable with.
