Why Lookeen for content, not just file names
What Lookeen does differently and what that means for your daily work.
One search for files and mailbox
Instead of switching between file manager and Outlook, Lookeen shows documents, emails and attachments together – with filters for path, type and date.
Precise search syntax
Exact phrases, proximity and fuzzy search, wildcards, AND/OR/NOT, document properties and date ranges – plus filters by type, path, size, sender and date.
Almost 100 file formats
Office and LibreOffice, PDF, text, images, CAD files, archives and source code – Lookeen searches files by content, not just by name. You decide which types are indexed.
Tags and comments
Add color tags and comments to results and find them again later with tag: or # – without moving any files.
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.
