This depends on whether the networked files are indexed at the server and whether this index does include the filetype and whether content indexing is activated for that file type. Check it at the server.

Edit: Server 2003 as file server? That is very dangerous.
Also please note that the server would need to have windows search v4 installed to build an index that can be queried from remote.
