Full text search?

Not sure if this is the right forum...

Situation:
- Novell 6 fileserver
- 145 GB documents on that server: Word, PDF, Excel, txt,  ...
- Users want to be able to look up documents by searching them full text.

So, What to use?
MS has indexing service, which works quiet well.
What is the Novell equivalent?

I already looked for a solution using Java, Lucene and webinterface
using Apache. But Lucene will take 5 full days to index the documents.
Which will be much longer, while the daily backup will disturb the process.

Novell has always focused on the use of its web based search tools, for NW6
you can find more information here
