Best Desktop Search Program

[beethoven]

I am looking for a file search program (ideally open source) that will allow me to search for files (primarily word ) across a LAN. I would like to search not just in the name but also within the docs.
I am using Copernic (an older version) but it seems it sometimes does not fully index every file. If I have to rely on my memory, it kind of defeats the purpose. No need for web integration or fancy toolbars and ideally I would prefer a small program does not eat up lots of resources.

Any suggestions :-\

I like Locate32. Not sure it will fit your needs or not.

There's also some good reviews over on Gizmo's site-

I use "Everything"
http://www.voidtools.com/
Very very fast, light and it doesn't need to run in background because it indexes files nearly instant at program launch. The latest beta version is 1.2.1.451a

Thanks guys,

I will give locate32 a try -

Everything won't work for me as it doesn't search within content, only in file and folder names.

Try following applications:
-Copernic Desktop Search
-Everything
-FileLocator Lite

@ Boyfriend - everything does not search within the contents as I pointed out before

@Rules - seems that ultrasearch does not allow to search across the LAN but only on local drives
