Netrics was US$10,000 per server per CPU, dtSearch was the same for a royalty free licence, or $60 per user, This was from 3 years ago, so prices are likely to have changed.

I ended up looking at tools like dtSearch and Netrics Search Server, both of which did admirable jobs, but both of which weren't cheap. My client decide Netrics was the one they wanted so I implemented the solution using that.
