SharePoint - reg Search configuration

Hi, i am using SPS 2003, i have created document library and created a new
column(Ex. Department). So users can mention their Department name when they
upload documents. I need to add a field Department in the Search Dropdown.
When i select this Department and enter a valid Department name in the
textbox, documents corresponding to the particular Department should be
displayed in the search results. Please help in this.

I actually wonder if he is asking the right question.

If he has a document library and a column containing the department name
and wants to see all the documents from that document library that are
from department X, all he needs to do is to create a View for each
department (or even show users how to use Filter from a total list of
documents).

For the situation he says he wants, he doesn't need to use Search at all.

You can also have the application sit on SharePoint and a copy gets pulled down sure local machine when you click on and on the SharePoint site, you will need access installed for this to occur. So, in this case we even replication via the internet. This seems much slicker. Again my interest is data on sharepoint 2010 and use normal windows / Access clients on each user's PC. I am not

Data Format on SharePoint pages - how to set SharePoint I'm relatively new to SharePoint. We are planning on deploying Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007. I've installed a Proof of Concept "farm".
