Very nice as a grep tool. But for anything static an index search is a must.

  1. Can SearchMonkey search for contents in a shared drive?
  2. How does SearchMonkey handle the permissions?
  3. Can SearchMonkey search through my emails?
  4. Can SearchMonkey search through my web browser history?
  5. How about a google-like web search?
