Please log in for more thread options That's partially true. However if you are using a SharePoint Server your
users would pass queries to the SPS and get results back from that server
without the overhead of indexing and searching their local indexes for the
data on the network. Using SPS is nice that way because you don't have the
extra load of desktop systems crawling network resources. They simply send
the query to the server, which has it's own index and it passes back the
results. Quick, simple & easy..
Currently there is no way for systems to share a WDS index however AFAIK.
