Slick Add-On for Microsoft Outlook! - 4/5/2005 16:33:51
Hi Gang,
Microsoft recently acquired a company with a proven search engine called Lookout. It has been adapted as an Outlook add-on which allows lightning fast searches for e-mail and any other files/attachments not only in Outlook but, optionally, anywhere else on your hard drive.
Once installed, you'll have a new toolbar for Lookout in Outlook. Works slick as a whistle! Click Here

Morning:
Google desktop will search not only Outlook, but your whole computer, including including Mozilla Thunderbird, pdf, music, and image files.
I've had it residing for awhile and found no unpleasant side effects.
Pretty cool, really.

Very nice. I always noticed Outlook took a LOOOOONG time to go through my thousands of messages.

lambert321,
For whatever reason  Google Desktop doesn't recognize my Outlook files. Otherwise, as you say, it gets the job done.
BUT, dang, Lookout runs circles around Google Desktop on search returns! Don't know how many Personal Folders/Archived Outlook messages I have, but my .PST file is right at 200 MB. Lookout returns using any combination of search parameters is all but instantaneous And, BTW, the price is definitely right.

So far I've tried Blinx, Google, and Copernic desktop tools and so far Copernic has my vote for desktop searching. They just came out with a new release over the weekend so I don't know what they fixed or added. It does have a much cleaner interface, now, but interestingly, when I tried searching the web from the desktop tool, it did not invoke the excellent Copernic Personal search tool. Maybe the new release fixed that though I still opt for Google most of the time. If you've never used either Copernic tools, they're definitely worth the look.
Is Lookout the same tool from Microsoft as the one in MSN?
