If they're less than enthusiastic, you could schedule a job, or set a
commit hook (probably inadvisable) to do an svnadmin dump command on
your repository, and then tell your desktop search tool to index the new
dump file. Or something along those lines. I use Copernic, and while I
don't use it in quite this manner, and it doesn't have the recurse
feature to grow the search, I find that if I want to do what you do,
inside my current working copy, it's simple enough (if time consuming,
what with having to cache hits and then search for those...).
If you use VS.NET, there's a commerical plugin that does roughly what
you want, but I don't remember its name. When I used it six months ago,
it wasn't impressive in that it didn't recurse to grow the tree as hits
are found on your original search - it was pretty much "find in
solution" with a fancy dialog, and only searched files in the solution
(not, for example, entities in a database that are referenced from
code). fmsinc.com? Something like that. I didn't think it was worth
the money.
