Information About Office 97 Web Find Fast

Web Find Fast allows you to create and maintain index files on Web servers, network drives, or shared folders on an intranet. You can also use Web Find Fast on an Internet server. Users can then perform full-text searches of the index for words, phrases, or properties in Office documents.

Users can run a search from a Web browser on a client computer running Microsoft Windows or the Macintosh operating system. Search results are returned in a Web page as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) links or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) links.

Clicking any link opens the document in the appropriate program. If the user has a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, that supports active documents, the Office program runs in their Web browser.

Web Find Fast uses indexes created by the Find Fast NT service that runs on the Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation operating systems. The server or workstation must be configured as an HTTP server (Web server) with Web server software, such as Microsoft Internet Information Server. To ensure that you do not violate the connection agreement, please refer to your license agreement.

The system requirements for Web Find Fast depend on your need for remote administration.

With remote administration, the system requirements are the following:

  • Windows NT Server 4.0.
  • An NTFS partition for installation of the Administration Tool files (to provide security).
  • Microsoft Internet Information Server version 2.0 or later.

Without remote administration, the system requirements are the following:
  • Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation version 3.51 with Service Pack (SP) 5

    -or-

  • Windows NT version 4.0 Internet Server API (ISAPI)

    -or-

  • CGI-compliant Web server software running on one of the Windows NT operating systems.
