Please log in for more thread options um.. no. WDS will keep a local index of what ever you index, mapped drives,
shares etc. The exception to this rule is if you are running SharePoint
Server or the SharePoint serveices (such as with SQL) which are servers that
have their own index. In this case WDS knows how to pass a query to the
Servers index and pull results using this protocol.
