Remote storage and Indexing service

These two components can be installed on Windows 2000 or above. Has anybody
worked with both running at the same time?

When working with hierachical storage FSFDs, it would be nice to index the
file and release the disk space. I checked the possibilities of Indexing
service and found them limiting. Has anybody worked in this area? Do you
know of any pointers except general Internet search engines and MSDN?

Thanks in advance
