It combines outlook and file indexing. Simple interface which works great. And what I really like is that if you have found what you are looking for, just clicking on it and the file or email will be openend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Initially it takes days to index your files (if you have quite a few) Searching is superfast though Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lookeen can search emails and documents. I am using it to index and search email in a Microsoft Exchange environment. Once you get your index, search is quite fast (but not real time as you type the query) and accurate. Searches can be ran using any of the many different fields (i.e. subject, sender, addressee, folder, date, etc etc) allowing to find relatively easily the requested content. The search results can be read directly in ther eading pane, which can be also organised in different views. From the reading pane it's possible to execute commands, such as move, copy, delete, etc. The items can be obviously opened just clicking on them.
The license cost is affordable, considering the characterstics of the software, Installation is easy and does not require any particualr skill.
The customer service is fast and in my experience was effective in solving my technical questions/issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lookeen is certainly a very good search software and there is not so much to dislike. As a fact, I tried many search applications and eventually I settled on Lookeen.
However there are few things that can be improved. The most important in my opinion is the indexing, which is painfully slow. I am working with some 50 Gb of mailbox and to complete the first index takes more than 4 days (I am working with a laptop powered by an intel i5 with a high speed internet connection to access the MS Exchange in the cloud). Other softwares in the same conditions were much faster (less than 2 days). Once the index has been created, then the daily changes are dealt with quite fast and transparently for the user. However, if you move/rename an entire folder in the mailbox expect a couple of days of re-indexing, which is quite annoying.
Other minor things which an be improved are the search speed and the possibility to use boolean expressions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It quickly finds all items related to my search in a wide array of locations. Basically any place I setup as a location to search. I've been looking for something like this that was quick and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has at times caused problems/conflicts with Outlook. The virus scanner has also had periods of conflict with Lookeen. Nothing too frequent or too serious though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
After the initial indexing, Lookeen finds files and emails very quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe in 2024 they will be addressing two issues which are critical to my continued use:
1). searching files in the cloud (e.g. OneDrive)
2). integration with the "new " outlook which will be mandatory in late 2024 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
