Is there a way to index file shares on a windows file server so that they can be quickly searched by end users, that isn't part of sharepoint?

you can use Windows Search (or the built in Vista/Win7 search to index shares. The downside is that each client maintains their own index. This seem like a less than optimum solution. Alternative might be to use a web-based indexer like SharePoint, Google, etc. to do it. Microsoft has a high-end indexing solution too. There are open source indexers as well like Apache's lucene

Use the Search Service, built in to windows server. (Formerly called: Index Server)
