local information search

Hi there. How do you people deal with huge amounts of documents? We have a few computers in the local network and finding a particular document sometimes becomes a nightmare... standard windows search definitely doesn't help...

Have you tried networking all of your computers to one central computer or server that everyone saves their work on ?

We do that at our office and it makes it easy to search for old docs.

put your documents onto a shared environment that is searchable and can be secured (passwords, group or user access, etc).

wiki is a great one! ... twiki is my preference of wikis.

You'll need to enter documents into wiki directly (instead of attching word docs, etc) if you want to search their contents or have any sort of revision control/tracking.

Best of all, it's free!
