This is the main advantage of the desktop solutions. The search engine indexes what you have access to, nothing more. With a centralised solution, you essentially have to overlay your authentication and permissions system(s) over the top of the search engine, and give the search engine access to everything. Or only allow it to index stuff that everyone has access to. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Just because you're on holiday, doesn't mean you're not a geek. http://engineer.openguides.org/ "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
