Outlook Search in Citrix: Lookeen Provides a Solution

As practical as virtual desktop environments may be, they come with a significant disadvantage: both the Outlook search and the Windows Desktop search often fail completely in this context. The VDI solution from Citrix also struggles with this problem. Emails and other data are either not found at all or only after a long wait time. Lookeen addresses this issue, enabling fast and easy searching within your mailboxes even in Citrix environments.

VDI Solutions Struggle with Search Problem

More and more companies are relying on virtual desktop environments such as Citrix or VMWare. The shift of the Windows client to the data center is considered one of the major trends in desktop computing. However, even the two leading providers of VDI solutions cannot yet avoid this problem: Outlook search functions less than optimally in VDI environments (VDI = Virtual Desktop Infrastructure). Frequently, processing search queries takes several minutes or no results are returned at all. The problem is frustrating for users and work is unnecessarily slowed down because important emails cannot be found in a timely manner.

Lookeen Replaces Outlook Search

Lookeen provides a solution here: The Lookeen Client integrates fully into VDI environments such as Citrix and, in addition to Outlook search, takes over the work of the Windows Desktop Search. This search tool is particularly helpful for Outlook users with large mailboxes and an unmanageable volume of email data. Thanks to the centralized indexing of data, emails, images, and other files can be found with Lookeen at record speed. This also applies when Outlook is used in a Citrix environment. The time required for sorting and organizing Outlook data can thus be significantly reduced. The wait time for Outlook search results is also shortened, boosting productivity.

Outlook Search Made Easy

Fast, clear, intuitive – this is how Lookeen presents itself even in Citrix environments. After a quick installation and the initial indexing of data, the add-in software runs efficiently in the background of Outlook and makes searching within your Outlook mailboxes and on your desktop easier from the very first minute. The integration of Lookeen into the Outlook toolbar enables easy access to the search function and makes working with it intuitive and easy to understand. Even when Outlook is installed in a Citrix environment.
