Hi, is it possible to share the index database for alle users. I like to
index only network drives, so it's the same content for all users.

It might take a bit of work and I don't know if you can limit it ONLY to
networked drives but, well, you probably can. Take a look here:

Windows Desktop Search - Enabled for Enterprise:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/desktopsearch/enterprise/default.mspx

You'll find a .ADM file and a guide for it.

Actually, no... Currently Shared Indexed is not supported. I think the
closest you would get to that would be a SharePoint Server.

Otherwise, you can use group policies to have users index certain shares and
not others, but each would have their own index and each would index these
shares separately.
