Have you considered using something like Kazeon (www.kazeon.comhttp://www.kazeon.com) or google search appliance ? These appliances can crawl your filers and index file attributes (and content) and are security aware. You could also use them for ILM type applications...

John said: We've got about a half terabyte of data on our F740 in our main office. The folks over in our remote office also access this via a T1. The remote guys would like to be able to do quicker searches through much of this data, probably just by filename.
Is there a native NetApp search tool? Any other recommendations?
One of the engineers has asked I just do a cron job every night of a complete file listing into a file... but I think this is something that might not even run overnight, we've got so many files.
thanks
