Which SQL edition do I need?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I have WSS installed on Windows Server 2003. I need to add "search"
capability. I've figured out that I have to upgrade from MSDE to SQL server,
but I don't know which edition I need: Express, Workgroup, Standard, or
Enterprise.

I work for a non-profit, so I'm looking for the least expensive solution
that will provide what I need. If it affects the answer, I have about 100
users.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
