Apologies if this is an inappropriate message...

I am wanting to provide a search engine style facility for my company's internal files.

These files are a mixture of Word, Excel, Text, Html, Pictures, Pdf, Part lists, our own specific files etc.
Where a file is of a type it cannot automatically index (eg a picture) I'd like it to refer it to a human and ask for a brief summary to be provided (EG "Picture of ACME model 123 installation".

I would like to get a spider to roam our server and network, sort out new files and index them, so that we can use a search engine to find relevant data from web browsers on our Lan.

Does anyone make such a product? If so who? This is obviously more than a raw "*.htm" spider, but I don't know where you get those from either.
