Running a network is never an easy task, especially those with an abundance of shared files.

For local disks and file systems, you get the search option - even if in the form of Windows' own search (which, by the way, is pretty decent in Windows 7) - but the same cannot be utilized for cross-network lookups. Network Search Engine answers exactly this issue.

Are you tired of using Windows Search to find files on your computer? Windows Search has come a long way, but it lacks some decent features. It runs on the principle of indexing, every time you copy a new file to your computer it is indexed. If the file is not indexed, then you will have no luck in finding it. Also note that when a user performs a search, Windows first scans the whole index and then displays the result, this scanning can take a long time if your index is huge.
