Re: Need Basic Help w/IIS 5's Indexing Program....

Dan;

I downloaded the free version and installed it - it worked very well ! It
looks like a good & solid product and I didn't bother reading any
documentation and had it indexing my site in about 10 minutes. I used it on
a development machine that is heavily overloaded and it worked quite fast -
it got to the 5,000 page limit in about 30-45 minutes. This is on a machine
that's also the webserver and loaded down with WebTrends Enterprise Suite
doing 30 minute logfile analysis :-)

If you ask me it looks like a winner :-) It indexed my .PHP files without a
hitch although I didn't spend enough time on it to see if it picked up my
..doc and .pdf's.

Best;
