BLOB index search

Hi,
I am wondering if I can user SQL server to store Word documents in the BLOB
field and then use Index Server to crawl through those documents (maybe on a
timed basis) to generate a catalog which can be used for web based queries
against. If this can be done then any caveats would also be welcome.
Thanks,Yes. You can do that via SQL Full Text Search:
