OmniFind Yahoo! Edition is a new release from - yeah you got it - IBM and Yahoo! that companies small, medium and large can install and use for free to enable enterprise search of intranets, file systems, and public web sites.
Looks like a partial answer to the SharePoint capabilities offered by Microsoft. I haven't tried it yet but will probably take a closer look. It will be interesting to see if this becomes a trend - offering free software to business customers.

Have to say, this is pretty enticing at first glance. They say it's designed to install in five minutes, with three clicks or less.
Might just have to try that.
