NT compatible Search engines (fwd)

[Laura Guy]

first, its gotta be NT 4.0 (unless all the patches are considered
.1 by your sysadmin!) 

i run a web site (http://dpls.dacc.wisc.edu) using NT4.0 and MIIS 3. 
THere is a MOST EXCELLANT and free Indexer that MS supplies via their
web site (MIIS comes on the NT CD-ROM).  I can't really imagine why
anyone would want to use anything else if you're doing straight-forward
searching (try our's out if you want).  its insanely easy to 
get running and the price is right!

BTW, we did try excite, but it was a hassle and i felt compromised 
security.
