i had problems with xnobi,even if it is for freei…i wasnt really satisfied with my search results and my pc and outlook got really slow because of xnobi, so i tested lookeen and i have to say its much more better than xnobi…its fast (and even my outlook and pc are fast). It gives me that what i am searching for…so for that i have no problems to pay 39$ once, because it saves me so much time and as we all now time is money too!

As a corporate client with exchange server with over 100.000 mails I can tell you: There IS a difference between build-in search and Lookeen.

There's also ParadiSearch which does the same for free.

how is this different from lookout (acquired by MSFT). lookout v1.3 is still available on the web and is a speedy, simple search engine built over lucene.

wait a minute. with windows desktop search, outlook 2007 has a solid (if not perfect) search solution. and it's free. xobni is still free. lookeen wants $39. does anyone else see a problem here?

Am I missing something? Outlook 2007 has excellent search built-in, Vista can search in Outlook items (not just mail) — what's the point of this software in 2008?

Just downloaded it and tried it out – I like it alot…fast, nice dialog box. I'm always searching Outlook and drumming my fingers waiting.

Hope it doesn't start crashing Outlook, like Xobni did in the early days.

Does one thing “well” (I have not tried it)
They have an upfront business model ($39 something)
I do not think they will eat Xobni's lunch, but they can generate a healthy revenue from their product. There is room for competition.
