If you want to easily and rapidly find something on the web, you always turn to a search engine, don’t you? You turn to a properly good one, like Google Search or Microsoft Bing, or perhaps even Wolfram Alpha. What do you do when you need to find something on your local network? Why, you turn to a search engine as well.

A search engine like the SoftPerfect Research-developed and aptly named SoftPerfect Network Search Engine. This is a self-contained index-based network search engine that indexes all files on your local area network (LAN); when you need to find something on the network, simply turn to SoftPerfect Network Search Engine and in seconds it will find what you are looking for.

To get a better picture of what SoftPerfect Network Search Engine can do, here are its main features:
- Indexes all available shared folders on the network
- Indexes the folders you select
- Does not index file contents
- It can be accessed via Windows GUI client or via a web interface
- Complete and incremental scheduled crawl modes
- Provides a built-in high-speed searchable database
- Provides a built-in web server

Before you go get SoftPerfect Network Search Engine and put it to the test, take a look at the technical bits and pieces presented below:
Download – the download weighs in at 2.8MB, which is good news. It means it will take very little time to get SoftPerfect Network Search Engine off the web and onto your computer.

Limitations – there are no limitations. SoftPerfect Network Search Engine is freeware.
