Try Oracle's UltraSearch instead. It does exactly what you're looking = for. On a test P-IV 2.4Ghz w/512MB of mem, an UltraSearch indexing of a = 65+K page intranet website returns results in about a second for a few = users. And it correctly indexed Wurd, Exhell, and all other types of MS = docs. It even pulled in the headers of an MPEG! Good luck!
