Mac OS X Server

Tired of looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack? It’s now easier than ever to find content on network servers. Spotlight Server lets you search for documents, files, and other content stored on your server — quickly and easily.

Find it fast.

Spotlight Server provides an instant way to find content on servers in your network. Designed for workgroups with shared documents, projects, and files, this new feature delivers lightning-fast search results for content stored on the server.

Advanced searches.

With richer Spotlight vocabulary in Mac OS X Leopard, now your searches can be even more exact. New options include Boolean logic, quoted phrase searching, category labels, and range support. Use search terms and search logic to create project-specific Smart Folders, so workgroups can always find their shared work, no matter where the files were actually saved on your server.

Put your best assets forward.

Finding your digital assets no longer needs to be a complex and expensive proposition. By combining the power of Spotlight Server with Cover Flow and Quick Look in Leopard, your users have a straightforward way to scan through thousands of files and preview items in Spotlight search results without even opening them.

To safeguard your organization’s data, Spotlight Server works with the file access controls in Mac OS X Server — users only see search results that they have permission to see. If they don’t have access to a file, it will never appear in their results. This makes it easy for everyone in a group to store files in a single shared location, while protecting confidential information from unauthorized viewing.
