[Apologies if this post is considered off-topic on this list]

You might want to try Webinator, an outstanding search engine available at:

http://www.thunderstone.com/webinator/

It's free to use for up to 10,000 documents. It works by fetching documents
over HTTP (not your file system), so it should work with Zope. However, the
free version requires an Internet connection to check with the license
server, so it might be impractical for an intranet soluition without full
Internet access.


Hope That Helps,
