Anyone really familiar with this?

Debating about deploying it at work so my employees can search a shared
document directory. ISYS wants to charge me $4,200 for their product. It's
better, but not $4K better.
I am not rolling it out via AD. I only want to give it to a few select
secretaries.

Question:
Is there an easier way to only choose DOCUMENTS for Indexing? I installed it
on my PC and had to go through the entire list of files *spacebar, arrow,
spacebar, arrow, spacebar, arrow*. All I want to index is
/DOC/XLS/PDF/WPD/TXT (and the users email, but that part is simple). I do not
want every achived PST, no MP3's or WMA's or files that don't even make sense
to most folks.

Gotta' be a better way? Anyone?

(Why is there no DOCUMENTS ONLY button, MS? ;) )
 
Found the administrative guide. You can use GP to PREVENT certain file types
from being scanned but you can't specify what the clients index. *sigh....
