Hi,
He could be mimicking Spotlight interface just like Apple does in its website.
I heard Leopard XServe (Mac OS X 10.5 Server) has LAN wide spotlight
search facility, perhaps it has a binding for web sites.
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/spotlight.html
Of course Apple should be contacted for details or if it is possible.

Dear experts,
This is what the search interface looks like:
http://www.newslink.com/.spotlight
Mainly it looks through pdf files.
I need a replacement.
Thanks for your help!

Google is your friend:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302424>
If you want to replace it, you'd disable the mod_spotlight_apple Apache
module and then use some other solution such as Google Search in its
place:
