The Better Windows Search: Lookeen

Do you want to search your entire PC for files without having to click through individual folders? Are you dissatisfied with the built-in Windows® search in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11? Do you need a more reliable, accurate search tool?

Problems with the Traditional Windows Search

Lookeen is the solution to the time-consuming and unsuccessful searches with Windows search. Although search has been improved in newer operating systems like Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11, it still cannot compete with the features of the professional search solution Lookeen. For example, in Windows 7, the entire drive is not automatically indexed, which often leads to incomplete results. A well-known problem is faulty or unsuccessful search queries, which can only be fixed by manually updating the index or even resetting the system to a restore point. Many users criticize the cumbersome search function selection via the Charm Bar in Windows 8. Additionally, Windows search is significantly slower than Lookeen and cannot be used in virtual desktop environments (VDI).

A Professional Search Solution

While Windows search is just a small part of the operating system, the professional solution Lookeen was developed specifically for the purpose of searching. There are many reasons why you should choose Lookeen: Selecting the right alternative to Windows search is an important decision for any business. Lookeen, as a stand-alone software, possesses all the key features of a professional desktop search.

A major strength of Lookeen is its seamless integration into Outlook®. Lookeen users continue to access the familiar Windows and Outlook interface, enhanced with the features of the professional search solution. This gives you a much more effective search tool that can search even the farthest corners of your hard drive and deliver results much faster than Windows search. Companies and private users benefit from Lookeen by gaining a complete overview of their data. Unlike traditional Windows search, professional filters ensure that even the most hidden files can be found.

Businesses and private users are generating ever larger amounts of data. It’s no wonder that “Big Data” has become a buzzword in recent years. Big Data refers not only to all types of data but also to their analysis and utilization. However, before this data can be used, every company needs an overview and control of it. A modern desktop search like Lookeen serves as a foundation for every company to optimize how they manage their data. 

Additionally, your data is protected. While the native Windows search is now heavily connected to the internet, your data remains offline with Lookeen. Lookeen’s search index is stored locally and is not uploaded to our servers or third-party servers. This makes Lookeen the perfect search solution for companies and private users who want to ensure their data remains secure. 

The Reliable Windows Search Alternative

Lookeen automatically indexes all local folders and network paths, delivering search results at lightning speed. This makes Lookeen a powerful replacement for the standard Windows search. The indexing ensures that all files and changes are immediately detected and included in the search. In terms of usability, Lookeen is highly user-friendly: Simply press the CTRL key twice, and Lookeen’s search bar will open, no matter where you are in Windows. Lookeen also reliably and quickly searches virtual desktop environments (VDI).

Let Lookeen Search Your Computer for You

Just like Windows search, Lookeen searches your entire computer for files, but it works much faster and more reliably. With the ever-increasing number of files stored on PCs and in networks today, a powerful and professional search solution is almost essential. It ensures you always have your data at hand and no longer waste time with long and often fruitless searches. Thanks to its numerous filter functions, Lookeen helps you maintain an overview of your files – whether they’re photos, Word, Excel, or PDF files – Lookeen finds what you’re looking for exactly when you need it.
