Is the Time Capsule a hard drive?

does the Time Capsule work as like a hardrive? For example, if I am running out of space on my Mac Mini, is the Time Capsule the thing I need to buy?

Does spotlight search work on the time capsule?

I have two Macs both running lion and currently have a Buffalo NAS to keep all my documents on. Spotlight doesn't work with it which is a real pain. I won't be using it for time machine backups, just a central resource to hold all of my documents. I need the ability to search the content of files (not just the filename), especially pdf and word documents. Will this work or should I look elsewhere?

Does Time Capsule work with OS X? If not, what does?

I have a Mac Pro. I have OS X but I don't think there are any Lions or Leopards involved. :-) I need to back up my photos before I upgrade to iLife. Will Time Capsule work with my system? Thanks.

will time capsule slow my internet connection?

Interested in getting a TC to back up from an iMac, macbook pro, and 3 iPhones. Though I am curious to how it would effect the speed of my internet connection rather that just buying a firewire external Hard drive and being diligent with my updates

Time Capsule vs my campus wireless?

I'm wondering about the automatic backup feature, primarily.

I live on a college campus with a wireless network that works just fine. In order to use the automatic backup feature of Time Capsule, would I have to disconnect from my campus wireless and connect to the time capsule (thus disabling my internet)? I'm not allowed to set up my own wireless networks, so using the Time Capsule as my wireless router point wouldn't work.
