Comparable versions of these tools all cost money, Copernic min. 49$ (Prof), Xobni plus 29.95$ and Lookeen for 39.90$. They all do what they should: search for content in Outlook. First Xobni: The search function is working well, if you click on a mail which has benn sent by a contact, Xobni shows some informations and statistics (also Facebook infos ..).. Thats nice, but after a few times more and more nerving. Xobni needs much space on the screen. I had performance-problems, it seems that xobni needs much system ressources. Copernic: Works really good, I recommend to buy the Prof.-Version which coste 49,95$... It´s more a desktop search and needs to be started in a extra task, so it´s not integrated in outlook... Lookeen: This tool starts within Outlook and needs just little space (it´s integrated in the toolbar). Search results are shown in tabs, sorted in groups like "contacts", "mail"... Lookeen has the "shared index" feature, which I a great idea. Open folders or search indexes are added to lookeen by the path they are saved. this saves much time and expands the abilities to search. Also normal folders can be indexed. Lookeen costs 10$ less than copernic prof., 39$, and future upgrades are included in this price. All in all it´s not easy to come to a decision which tool is the best. Especially for Outlook-searches I recommend Lookeen. Fair price and best search-abilities. For doing also Desktop searches Copernic maybe the best option, but with the highest price. Hope this will help some people to come to a decision. Greets Karl Hi,

I actually tested Lookeen, Copernic and Xobni.
Comparable versions of these tools all cost money, Copernic min. 49$ (Prof), Xobni plus 29.95$ and Lookeen for 39.90$.

They all do what they should: search for content in Outlook.

First Xobni:
The search function is working well, if you click on a mail which has benn sent by a contact, Xobni shows some informations and statistics (also Facebook infos ..)..
Thats nice, but after a few times more and more nerving. Xobni needs much space on the screen. I had performance-problems, it seems that xobni needs much system ressources.

Copernic:
Works really good, I recommend to buy the Prof.-Version which coste 49,95$…
It´s more a desktop search and needs to be started in a extra task, so it´s not integrated in outlook…

Lookeen:
This tool starts within Outlook and needs just little space (it´s integrated in the toolbar).
Search results are shown in tabs, sorted in groups like “contacts”, “mail”…
Lookeen has the “shared index” feature, which I a great idea. Open folders or search indexes are added to lookeen by the path they are saved. this saves much time and expands the abilities to search. Also normal folders can be indexed.
Lookeen costs 10$ less than copernic prof., 39$, and future upgrades are included in this price.

All in all it´s not easy to come to a decision which tool is the best. Especially for Outlook-searches I recommend Lookeen. Fair price and best search-abilities.
For doing also Desktop searches Copernic maybe the best option, but with the highest price.

Hope this will help some people to come to a decision.

For me Lookeen is the best alternative to Lookout too, very convenient to work with!

I agree that it is one of the best outlook search-tools which you can find at the moment.

We have been using it for >1 year w/o issue. I can post it if somebody gives me a site. Good Luck Searching...Lead, Follow, or Get the @#$%!! Out of the Way.

Unfortunately, I've just had my PC upgraded and so have to reinstall everything. Does anyone have the install file for this version by any chance?
