Spotlight Server. Stop searching, start finding.

Tired of looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack? It’s easy to find content on network servers with Mac OS X Server. 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 feature delivers lightning-fast search results for content stored on the server.

Advanced searches.

The rich Spotlight vocabulary in Mac OS X lets you search for exactly what you want. 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 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 Mac OS X, your users have a straightforward way to scan through thousands of files and preview items in Spotlight search results without 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 never appears 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 unauthorised viewing.
