I may give Noogle a try if I’m still needing this functionality by the time my trial is over.Top 4 Download periodically updates software information of Lookeen Desktop Search 10. And the ctlr, ctlr shortcut doesn t seem to work on my Win 10 machine. Also, i noticed that it isn’t finding new emails while it’s indexing what was started. But I have many years of emails so i’m expecting it to go idle once it finishes the indexing. The only thing I’m finding is that it’s taking a long time to complete the indexing and consuming a lot of CPU in doing so.

But it obviously has problems searching its own databases since there are so many 3rd party search engines. Just wish Outlook would do this natively. For me, it’s been doing what I need it to do. So they may have fixed those glitches you were experiencing. I honesty didn’t notice that you posted this about 2 years ago. I just recently started looking for this capability which is how I came across your post. I thought it was a dead project.Īs for my experience with Lookeen, I think it’s still early for me to say one way or another. When I did a search for x1 alternatives, Noogle didn’t show up. Thank you to David Carpenter and the other contributors for giving us that nice piece of software! It does exactly the same as Everything and it works fine (I used it for quite some time before I found Everything) but it’s not as flexible as Everything (which lets you customize a lot!), so I don’t see why you’d want to spend 30 USD on something you can get for free. The main point of this post was, however, not to bash X1 search and Lookeen, but to praise Everything, which just works (and it just takes seconds until a newly created file is available in the search).Ī commercial alternative to Everything, btw, is Quickjump. If, however, you do not encounter issues, please comment below and let us know. Or if you do want to try either of them and you encounter problems, just uninstall. Sorry, this is not a proper review but I just couldn’t be bothered to write it up, because the verdict is just so clear: don’t bother. The email search in Outlook didn’t work properly (worse than Outlook’s own, if you know what that means). It never stopped using CPU and I’m not sure if it ever managed to finish the indexing job, but I did conduct some searches and here the problem is that it doesn’t even take you to the page in the document where your search term is.

Like this:īut the main problem is that if the pdf is a scanned document, it will only bring you to the page where your search term is, but it won’t highlight the term (the pdf viewer they use can’t do that kind of overlay over an image, as explained here). One problem was that some pdf files were not displayed properly, it was just a mess of letters and symbols (though I think that was eventually fixed, if I remember correctly). The user experience was crap, even when I finally did manage to get it to finish indexing and could run som searches. I went back and forth with their support for a while, but to no avail. Both of them kept using a significant proportion of my CPU for several days, allegedly still indexing all the files, but eventually I figured out that since X1 was not accessing the disk at all, it must have crashed. So when I found out about two desktop search engines, Lookeen and X1 Search, which will even index the contents of your files, I was enthusiastic about the possibilities that would open up, for example to search all my pdf journal articles for a particular word or phrase.

the folders and sub-folders where the file is stored). Now, everything has its limitations, and so does Everything: it only indexes file names and paths (i.e. Doubleclick the file to open it or drag and drop it into your email to send it off or whatever you want to do with it. – Of course, if you know the file name (or parts thereof) you would type that. You start typing whatever you remember about the file, say, you know it’s in your dropbox and it’s a png file, so you type “dropbox png” (without the quotation marks) and it will immediately show you all png files in your dropbox (make sure you have “Match Path” activated in the Search Menu):Īs you can see in the screenshot, you may not even have to type the whole word dropbox. You just press a shortcut of your choice (In my case: Ctrl + Shift + J), a search window opens: I’ve been using it for years and it’s about time I mention it here. Haha, what a weird title! So let’s get this straight first: with “Everything”, I mean this little freeware program called Everything, which allows you to find any file on your computer within one second.
