Lookeen for Outlook Search
April 19, 2010
Those search experts at About.com flagged Lookeen as the best Outlook add on for 2010. No matter that 2010 is still in its youth, but I have confidence in the About.com “awards”. Does anyone else thing that there are a heck of a lot of awards floating around. Exalead and I sponsor an award at the Boston Search Meeting, but we are recognizing a specific person who does a great job in his / her presentation at this important gathering of search wizards. Outlook add ins. I am not so sure.
Anyway, Lookeen an extension for Microsoft Outlook. The company says, “It’s a search tool that is seamlessly integrated in your Outlook and will search everywhere in your Outlook data. Find every mail at your fingertips!”
Lookeen says (and these points come directly from http://www.lookeen.net/:
- Lookeen will find every mail – even in the largest archives!
- Use innovative features to find important data faster than ever!
- Search synchronous for e-mails, attachments, appointments, tasks, notes and contacts!
- Searching in external PST-Files or archives!
- Integrated Desktop search!
- Central indexing for enterprises!
There are too many exclamation points and I have a built in aversion to categorical affirmatives.
Whenever I change a machine, I go through the back up drill. When a machine crashes, I am paranoid unless I have two of everything plus whatever the happy little Drobo snags. As a result, I need a way to focus a search system on a specific PST or group of PSTs and then find emails and attachments that pertain to my query.
If you don’t have access to the Coveo search system which does a good job with email or Pocket Search from Gaviri, you may want to give Lookeen a spin. A 14 day trial is free. Navigate to www.lookeen.com.

A freebie. Gaviri’s founder told me he would buy me a taco when I was next in Newark. Promises. Promises. I am still waiting for the Coveo taco by the way.

Hi there,
how’s the Lookeen testing going so far? I’m always excited to come across fellow users of this small piece of software. I started using I about a year ago on my personal machine. During that time it became an essential part of my Outlook workflow… Since I’ve been so happy with this tool I proposed to my boss having a look at it. Maybe the company will find it as useful as I think it is…
Hopefully you get the same satisfying results as I have. Happy search&find 🙂

I use GetMail from http://www.searchterrain.com . It searches for Outlook emails very fast. It is uncomplicated to use.
