Search in alfresco

[cdpd]

I'm just a beginner searching for open source products similar to share point.
Both alfresco share and explorer are available for me from the community edition which I downloaded. How to know the version of alfresco from GUI?
What is the difference between alfresco share and explorer?

I got some pdf document on this product.

I created a site and under document library, created two folders and populated some pdf/word documents. I doubt whether the search will provide us content based search on the documents in the document library or is it simply based on meta data?
More over is boolean search or fuzzy logic feature implemented in search.

Thanks in advance.

Two different web based user interfaces to the alfresco repository.

There's lots of search functionality built into Alfresco.   You can search on property values or "fuzzy logic" with the full text search.   Equally the PDFs will be converted to text and then indexed.
