I'd like to index a Windows share for a workgroup of Win7 clients using open-source technologies. Users should be able to run full-text queries against the contents of .doc, .xls, .ppt, .pdf, .txt, .rtf, etc. files added through the UNC path via drag-n-drop, no need to manually trigger the index update. What's the software stack for this? Trying not to use Win Indexing here.

There are various open source tools for indexing documents, but they tend to require some tuning. I'd recommend you look at:

• Solr
• Lucene
• Lucene.NET

Although Solr uses Java, it can run on Windows. In most cases you need to trigger the indexing process or schedule it. You might be able to use a FilesystemWatcher from .NET to trigger indexing of new files but it really depends on how soon they need to be visible in search results.
