I've spent new year holidays on designing and writing (alongside with another one developer) a local searcher which would allow quick search and browsing through SMB and FTP shares. For years we were using http://sourceforge.net/projects/fsmbsearch but I don't like neither it's design which almost doesn't rely on relational database (I may be wrong here and it would be interesting to find out the answer) nor it's implementation when installation requires dealing with autohell, patching some outdated version of samba and getting loads of perl modules.
The new search engine called uguu is entirely open source and is available at http://code.google.com/p/uguu. It uses libsmbclient and small amount of C code for scanning SMB share, postgres for database, python for scripts and django as web framework.
It is still very far way to go (for example, no search page yet) and there are some things I plan to do myself, but if you want to contribute in any way feel free to join google group devoted to this project: http://groups.google.com/group/uguu
