I have been using LookOut for several years now and enjoy it greatly. I am still using it on my pc at work as we are running Office 2003, however at home I have Office 2007 and it doesn't work with that version, so I have been unfortunate to not be able to continue using it. For those looking for a program to index their emails, which this will also index files based on specified file types, this is wonderful program. Much much faster than Outlook's search features. Hope this review helps out. MJT

This is a great program that makes my life a lot easier. If you're someone who deals with any real volume of email, and you take the time to memorize the search logic of this little gem, it can save you hours of searching.

Lookout is a good idea but I think it has been superceded by other programs. I used Lookout for some time but found that it really slowed Outlook down especially when loading. I now use Copernic Desktop Search which I find is much faster and easier to use. It is easier to customize and also allows you to search network drives.

But this one is actually great. Very fast indexing and search. If you have a large inbox or mails spread out it's a very handy search tool.
