Extending Desktop Search to Remote Storage Servers

With the widespread dissemination of information on the Internet, there is a growing need to provide centralized searches of that data. Desktop Search applications offer powerful search capabilities for locating and indexing files on your PC.

You can transparently extend the functionality of Desktop Search applications to also search and index Web Servers and Online Storage servers by using WebDrive. WebDrive turns any remote WebDAV, SFTP, or FTP server into a virtual file system accessible from a mapped drive letter. Map a WebDrive to any remote storage server and once the drive has been mapped, your Desktop Search application can be pointed to the mapped drives so that files beyond your local computer can also be located quickly and easily.
