It does have a search engine built in. We found it to be *extremely*
difficult to configure and not flexible enough for our particular use. We
also couldn't find any good books on the subject. Most IIS books have a
chapter on the Index Server but it is basically a reprint of the lousy
(IMHO) Index Server documentation.
You may have better luck, or you may be able to find a better search engine.
We ended up writing one in Java because we wanted to integrate our
authentication code into the search engine. It was relativly straightforward
to write.
