Looking for an alternative to Elasticsearch?
Get to know Lookeen. If you are considering Elasticsearch for search across your organization, you are often really looking for something simple: search files and emails without building clusters, connectors and an interface yourself.
Why Lookeen for enterprise search without a development project
What Lookeen does differently and what that means for your daily work.
Simple instead of self-built
Lookeen includes the connectors for file servers, Exchange, Microsoft 365 and PST archives, the search interface and the permission logic – install instead of program.
A finished product, not a project
Install, choose your sources, search: the interface, Outlook add-in, browser access and administration are all included – no development required.
Emails and archives in one search
Outlook, Exchange and Exchange Online, PST and OST files and online archives – with attachments, appointments and contacts. Search works even when Outlook is closed.
Permission-aware results
Lookeen takes over rights from Active Directory, the file system and Exchange. Nobody finds more through search than they could already open.
Typical use cases
This is where Lookeen plays to its strengths, each with its own page and details.
File servers & network drives
Find documents by content, with filters for path, type and date.
Frequently asked questions
What to know before you switch from Elasticsearch to Lookeen.
Is Lookeen an alternative to Elasticsearch?
For searching files and emails across an organization, yes: Lookeen is a finished application with connectors, interface, Outlook integration and permission-aware results – no development effort.
Do I need developers to introduce Lookeen?
No. Lookeen is installed and configured through its interface. Sources such as file servers, Exchange and PST archives connect without programming.
How much effort is switching?
Little: Lookeen indexes your data where it already lives – nothing has to be migrated. After installation you choose your sources and indexing runs in the background.
Does Lookeen also search Outlook and Exchange?
Yes. Lookeen searches emails with attachments, appointments, tasks, notes and contacts in Outlook, Exchange and Exchange Online – with Lookeen Server also shared mailboxes and, in on-premises Exchange, public folders.
Does every employee see every result?
No. Lookeen Server stores the access rights of every item and filters every search by them – based on Active Directory, the file system and Exchange.
