I don't know any Netapp product for server side searches. The idea of your engineer might be the best one. Run a 'find' from while to while and safe the result to a database/plain file which can be accessd via a (e.g.) web page. You might want to check for access violations - maybe not everybody should see everyones files. If your users just mount their own home directories local search tools like Google's 'desktop search' or Apple's 'spotlight' will do the job.
NetApp offers SRM, which does file summaries, totals, etc. However I'm not sure it generates a path index, and for sure no content index. The Google Search Appliance looks cool!
