It's possible to index the file system, sure.  I think it's best to spider 
since it's indexing really what can be reached via links.

Maybe it's too early as I'm not seeing the reason for this.  The index is 
portable.  And the pathname can be made relative during indexing, and then 
"fixed-up" when searching, so that it will work anywhere.
