A Lookout Believer

I got this last week in an e-mail from one of our system developers:

Dave, I finally got around to installing Lookout and I now see why you think so highly of it – what an awesome utility!   I spent 10 minutes with Outlook search trying to locate a specific email from earlier in the year that had an attachment of interest– I gave up.  I installed Lookout, let it index folders and the attachments.  When it was done, I found what I was searching for earlier in like two seconds.  I’m going to let it index all of documents and a zillion text files I have containing pieces of code and SQL syntax.

There are other search tools out there, and some may be better.  But Lookout is extraordinarily useful, plugs in to Outlook, searches files as well as e-mail, and the price is right!
