I understand your confusion reading Noel's text, but this works with 
Samba fileservers and Windows clients.

You do need configuration on the Windows clients and there is more than 
just Samba fileserver on the server-side: you need elasticsearch or 
opensearch, fscrawler (or similar) and some extra lines in smb.conf.

I have the server-side installed and running.
