There is no such "plug and play" technological answer at the moment.
If people are using Outlook <spit> then there is a newly emerging class
of application called "Desktop search tools" of which I'm testing
blinkx. http://www.blinkx.com
This purports to search the user's PC for all kinds of documents, as
well as the contents of Outlook (and now, Eudora) mailbases. It's still
a case of searching each PC one at a time. though. [Needless to say, I
use a rather better client that's never likely to figure in their
plug-ins.]
However, I've *very* impressed at the way it searches for documents,
including those in a test Outlook I've made for the purpose.
