Lookeen

Finding files on your computer could prove a lengthy and challenging process sometimes, especially when there are tens of thousands of files to search through. The search capabilities integrated with Windows could prove rather slow, and users might need faster tools to find what they are looking for.

Lookeen is one of the programs that include such capabilities, allowing users to find the data they are looking for on their computers, on the Local Area Network, and even on Exchange servers.

The software has been built with search-as-you-type functionality, thus allowing users to find what they are looking for almost instantly. The list of search results is refined as users type the query, which makes it easy for users to search through large amounts of data.

Lookeen provides users with the possibility to preview any of the files that appear in the search results list directly on its main window. Thus, users can make sure that the document they have found indeed includes the data they need.

Courtesy of real-time data indexing capabilities included in the application; users can find the data they are looking for at any time. This also makes the tool suitable for use within enterprise environments, as it provides all users with fast access to the data they are searching.

Users can set the software to perform file indexing operations at desired periods of time and can also select the type of files that should be indexed. Users can also change the indexing speed. Selecting a faster rate, however, can slow down the computer.

When installing the program, users are provided with the option to configure it as a pure Outlook plugin. Thus, they can take advantage of its capabilities only within Microsoft's application.

Lookeen is a fast search application that provides users with the possibility to find files on their computers almost instantly. It allows users to customize the file indexing process, as well as to install it as a pure Outlook plugin.
