Using SQL2000 as a document search engine
If you don't want to store the documents in the database, then SQL Server
isn't going to help you. Full Text Catalogs (which you can lookup in SQL
Server's Books Online) are the mechanism SQL Server provides for indexing
documents stored in SQL Server. And it sure isn't free...you have to buy
SQL Server.
