Indexing content on Windows file shares?

Hello,

I'm new to Solr, I know nothing about it other than it's been touted in 
a couple of places as a possible competitor to Google Search Appliance, 
which is what brought me here. I'm looking for a search engine which can 
index files on windows shares and websites, and, hopefully, integrate 
with Active Directory to ensure results are not returned to users who 
don't have access to those files(s).

Can Solr do this? If so where is the documentation for it? Reconnaisance 
searches of the mailing list and wiki have not turned up anything, so far.

thanks,

Sharehound only indexes file names & dates.

If you are looking to index websites, Nutch would be a better alternative.

However, it could be useful for indexing text files.

There is documentation here for how to add data to the index

http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html#Indexing+Data

http://wiki.apache.org/solr/#Search_and_Indexing

There are some clients here to add data to the index programatically.
