- It's not shareware, but I use On Location (from On Technology) to do this.
- I create an index and store it in my system folder rather than on the
- volume. Great for M/O drives and other large removables too.

- You can then search not only by title, but by text contents of the files if
- you like. They get pretty big (I have a 4 MB index of a 160 MB drive) if
- you index the contents of files. I have others where I just indexed file
- names, and some volumes containing roughly 280 MB got indexed in 200K to
- 900K.
