Joe,
I don't know if there would be an advantage for us to use Sharepoint
Server,
but we can buy it very cheap.
Is Ifilter a third-party product or a tool in SQL?
thanks,
Carlton.

Has anyone setup SP Server to do this? How hard is it to develop

need something prebuilt if that's possible.
Any suggestions?

Here is one thought.

1 Scan all docs to a PDF format - since you can get an Ifilter for SQL
servers full text index to break PDF's
2 Create a WSS site (WSS is free SPS is not) and then create a document
library per user.
3 Assign permissions to the doc libraries as required.

The limits on the doc libraries are 1000 items per 'container' and a
folder is a container - therefore create folders within each library to
store more docs.

NOTE that you cannot simply create a single document library since
permissions cannot be applied to folders - you would have to have a
library for each user

If all the content is in a single site then the WSS search will work
for you.

Joe.
