Instantly hey?
Mm....
Well it's not instant for me! 
And every time I go back from a search result-record to the result pane.. it searches again... slowly...

This[^] works remarkably well -- but, since it turned up, there are now a few more that work similarly on http://nonags.com[^]

Well, I actually don't need a direct replacement as I don't need the collaboration part of it. Ideally what I'm looking for is a prebuilt solution that basically manages file hosting. I would love for it to be integrated into Active Directory for editing and read only permissions. I would also like it to have the ability to add tags or searchable strings for each file to ease in locating it. Currently we use Sharepoint and simply have everything broken down into directories that the users have to manually comb through. Any help will be much appreciated and sorry if I have this in the wrong forum.
*Update: Found out that MS does have a free version of Sharepoint called Sharepoint Foundation that's a stripped down version of it that you can use for free. Currently have it installed and it fits the bill. The use of the MS style ribbon menu makes it a bit clunky though.
Thanks again for everyone's input and help!

What kind of files do you want to store? If they're mostly documents, spreadsheets, presentations, eBooks etc, then there is a good cloud-based solution about to launch that indexes (using Solr) everything you upload making search quick and easy.

Mostly operating manuals in PDF, but some other files, including some PLC programs and the like.

You need the one titled "Sharepoint", rather than "The Lounge".

Thanks. Didn't see that yesterday.

When SharePoint first came out with that ridiculously expensive licensing I ended up making a "replacement" for it on my own. It's simply designing a secure web portal that uses Active Directory credentials. Then underneath the hood you manage web folders containing uploaded documents from each user. You use a database (ie. MySQL or SQL Server) to keep track of who owns what and what is the latest version of the document. And Voila! You have the core of what makes SharePoint work. The rest of SharePoint are interesting web parts, etc that you can build on. But for your purposes a simple secure web portal will do the trick. And you will save money in the end.

Thought of this, but I don't have the time to dedicate to this right now. I was hoping for a quick win, but it looks like I'll have to push this down the road until I have some time.

Which version of SharePoint are you using since the in-built search can be highly efficient if the document metadata is defined properly.

Even without metadata, the text search is scarily fast, because it's all done with server caches and indexes.

Maybe I'll have to revisit it. For what we're doing, it's a bit overkill. Plus, my userbase isn't the most technically savvy for this. Thanks for the feedback!

Sharepoint has great search features - why not use that? (instead of having users manually searching for things)

The version that we're currently using is from 2003. I'll check into a newer version. Thanks!

Checking it out. Thanks for the link!

"The researchers found that fish, which lack the sophisticated visual cortex of primates, are nevertheless capable of discriminating one face from up to 44 new faces. ... In all cases, the fish continued to spit at the face they had been trained to recognize, proving that they were capable of telling the two apart. Even when we did this with faces that were potentially more difficult because they were in black and white and the head shape was standardized, the fish were still capable of finding the face they were trained to recognize."

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

My son wants to make a Lego video and post it on YouTube.
I can't get Movie Maker to run. My PC says it's there, but it's not.
Can anyone recommend a simple, free, video app?
Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

By an odd happenstance, I was just reading a blog post by Raymond Chen about that very thing - if you are running Windows 10. Check out "The Old New Thing"[^]
