× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Note that the Omnifind will index DB columns, spool files and IFS objects...

Here's the info about indexing spool files and IFS objects

We are looking for a way to set up search functionality for the intranet
(running on IBMi) for our Fire and Emergency services department. Because
of the nature of much of our content, the site exists behind a secure login
so we can't simply have Google index it and plug in their services. While
we would love an open source or inexpensive third-party solution, most of
what I've researched that can crawl and index our content (including in
documents such as .pdf, .doc, xlsx, etc.) and function in a secure site is
either extreme overkill and/or very expensive. Can anyone share any
suggestions/solutions if you have been in a similar situation?
