I went looking for this post from me today on the web site and was astounded to discover that I had not done it.
So, here is the deal - your nice WSS sites can all have search enabled by default - and this means search inside all the documents with them understood (rather than some poor quality text search that can not deal with binary file formats).
To enable this it is very simple:
1) Load SQL onto your system choosing to upgrade the instance called SHAREPOINT
2) Go to the SharePoint Admin Page (on SBS this is http://localhost:8081/SearchAdmin.aspx) and tick the box
3) go to the home page of your WSS site and notice the search box in the top right corner
If you want to add more search providers, go look for IFilters and for PDF capability, go to http://davidoverton.com/blogs/doverton/archive/2006/06/27/674.aspx
