I am looking for free utility which will index my files in folder and its subfolders, or in network/shared drive.

It must support full text indexing for Office 2007 files, PDF, etc. I have seen Agen Ransac, however it doesn't show multiple results as Google does - which would make me very happy since I work as operator that needs info fast and easy.

Application can not require Administrator privileges to install/run.

Must run under Windows XP.

Try Puggle. Since it has a portable version, you need no admin rights to run it.

Puggle is an open-source desktop search engine written exclusively in Java. It provides full text and metadata search over files, folders, music, photos, web pages and more that are stored locally on your computer. Supported file types are JPEG, PNG, GIF, TXT, PDF, DOC, RTF, WPD, HTML, XLS, PPT, ZIP, RAR, and MP3.

Gaviri SearchOS Free is listed as a text-search product with a portable version
(however I have no experience with it).
