Ok Xobni is cool only if you are using 2003. For 2007 outlook go for instant search provided by microsoft. Its the best so far. You dont need any additional software to make your outlook 2007 bulky, instant search just provide a search bar.

Try using Irradiant eFiler to file your emails out of Outlook and into your network folders. Its search tool is so quick you’ll forget your emails aren’t still in your Mailbox. Pays for itself in just a few days in time and storage savings.

I tried Xobni, only to find that Outlook search, though slow, gave more complete results (one query Xobni gave me 13 results, Outlook 17). Maybe I missed some setting in Xobni, but I couldn’t bring myself to rely on it, given those results.

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.

Lookout is gone, ok once it was great, but now it´s time is over…lookout couldn´t search for docx, xlsx etx. the new file format of office 2007 and that is in a progessive company extremly necessary, because I get a lot of e-mails with attachments in docx format!
For me Lookeen is the best alternative to Lookout too, very convenient to work with!
