Indexing a network for easy of serching data
I was at a seminar today. The speaker talked about indexing your data to make it easier to search. That makes sense. What I have is a domain with two file servers, a Windows 2003 and a Windows 2008. The rest of the network is make up of XP computers and a number of Macs. I see where I turn on indexing on the servers. Can I then search from a XP computer and that will search my computer and the server? I know question is not worded well, please feel free to ask

I can get around computers, but am a little lost when it comes to our networking. We just installed a Windows 2008 Dell server and I have not turned on indexing in the file server portion of the server. I downloaded and installed Windows Search 4.0 this morning to my XP PC. When I turn on indexing on the server, and when I type in a search item on my PC in Windows Search 4.0 will it also look on the servers shared drive? Sorry about being so simplistic! Or do I point it there from Windows Search 4.0?
Thanks
