X1 Search Reviews & Product Details

X1 doesn't have search limitation, it will show all the result so I can easily find old email history. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

X1 doesn't have wildcard function, so cannot I search incomplete/mistyped product name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

X1 enables me to locate what I need in Windows within seconds. Whether it is an email in Outlook, files on a server, SharePoint, or a local PC, if it exists in one of these locations, I can find it almost instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one huge downfall of X1 is that if you are ever stuck using one of the other individual searches in Windows (Outlook, File Explorer, SharePoint or OneDrive search, etc.), you will want to beat your head against the wall because none of them will find what you are looking for beyond the very basic text match. You will rue the day your eyes were opened to how search should be and will pray that X1 never ever goes away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am absolutely enamored with X1. This extraordinary product has transformed my life, allowing me to spend my time efficiently rather than on the endless, frustrating search for documents, files, or emails. For 20 wonderful years, X1 has been an indispensable part of both my work and home life, and I cannot imagine functioning without it. It is truly worth every penny. On the rare occasions when I've encountered an issue, Chris has been there with unwavering support. Simply put, the X1 is a superior product backed by professional and exemplary service.

There isn't a thing I can think of that would enhance the current product except if Windows search would call X1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One database that you can search to find all emails, documents and related information.

And multiple ways to search and display information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it does seem to use a lot of resources but that's not surprising since it does so much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My customers and colleagues think I'm brillant mostly due to X1. I can find information fast. I was introduced to X1 at a customer 15 years ago with a great presentation covering the differences between Filers and searchers. Not only are filers grossly inefficient but given the growth of information filing becomes a pointless exercise (imagine if Google tried 'filing' the internet). I gave up all but the most basic of filing backthen because X1 was the tool that worked for me. Over the years I have tried many difference solutions and nothing comes close to performance, ease of use and results. On the rare occasion I have needed it the customer support is amazing.

When indexing it can max CPU and make my laptop fan loud. LOL Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. The built-in viewer that let's me very quickly click & view thru a list of files or emails to finalize my search.

2. The ability to make a complex "search equation" (e.g., with and's and or's) and save it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has to constantly be looking for changes (e.g., new or deleted or moved files & emails) instead of having a service that notifies it when a change occurs. Even when you have X1 move a file itself, it does not instantly fix the index accordingly, but has to do a scan and discover and fix it later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can read and find anything in any format Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing - I have used it for 10 plus years, it is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works and its fast. I'm an attorney and I simply couldn't live without it when drafting documents. It is so easy to find clauses that I have previously drafted to insert into a new document. Just as easy to find emails, contacts, and tasks.

The customer service is prompt, knowlegable, and goes above and beyond to when they find other problems with your computor not related to X1. They set a high bar for other companies.

Thanks Chris Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. It is close to the perfect program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do my work so quickly because of X1. It searches my Contacts, Calendar, Files privately, which I use very frequently. Excellent tool for any user! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the scroll bar - if you click it off, the view is gone and you need to reset the view.

The program is amazing! So clean for users to build what we want to pull up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how with X1 Search I can search Outlook emails, attachments, calendars and contacts.

SharePoint is compatible with our workflows and offers native previews of lists and document libraries in addition to unique post-search actions.

To change settings and add or remove data sources from the index, you can use the menu options to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish X1 Search's indexing procedure were more efficient; it is still cumbersome.

X1 Search's installation and configuration procedures are a little challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
