Indexing and searching shared items

    You can use the Sherlock application to create an index file for each share point. The index has the same access privileges as the share point. (Your users may search only those items for which they have access. )

    To index a share point:
    1 Open Mac OS Server Admin and log on to the server you want to administer.
    2 Press the Privileges button and choose Show Disks & Shared Items.
    3 Locate the shared item you want to index, then double-click it.
    4 Click the Index button in the Privileges window.
    Indexing replaces any previous index that was created.

    If you use the Sherlock application to index the volume on which the Web folder is located, visitors to your Web site can search its contents.

    Note: Even though you must index the volume on which the Web folder is located, the search results your users see are limited to items in the Web folder.

    To search the contents of an indexed Web site:
    1 From a computer that has a Web browser.
    2 Enter the following URL:
    http://website/.sherlock
    Replace "website" with the address of your Web site.
