Lookout the light weight Outlook search engine (add in)

We have discussed about some outlook plugins which we use to search mails in Outlook. The fantastic Xobni (I use it in my Office) and Google Desktop as well. However, Lookout is blazing fast and index mails, attachments, news feed, appointments extra from your multiple PSTs. I indexed my PSTs whose size is in GIGs, Lookout indexed it pretty fast and after indexing searching your mails, attachments is amazing.

Installing Lookout for Outlook 2003 is like a breeze and using some tweaks it can be installed for Outlook 2007 as well.Original author of Lookout, Mike Belshe, had just posted instructions for getting Lookout to work on Outlook 2007
I use to follow clean inbox policy and use to move mails based on their content to different folders. But believe me sometime it is very difficult to find mails and this is where Outlook search plugins helps. I am pretty satisfied with the performance of Lookout and suggest you to give it a try.
