Superior Outlook Search Features

Lookeen stands out from the traditional search with numerous additional Outlook search features, including advanced search options. These features allow you to refine your search results even further: More than 25 filter options make the Outlook add-in more precise than any other search!

Categories, Preview View, and Advanced Search Fields

Different categories allow you to perform even more precise searches. This Outlook search feature from Lookeen is integrated above the results list and provides quick access. You can narrow your results by categories such as emails, contacts, tasks, meetings, calendars, and many more. By clicking on a category, your results are filtered, showing only the items that correspond to the selected category. You can also customize the categories by selecting which columns to display in the menu. Additionally, you can choose how many lines of an item should be displayed in the preview-by clicking on the corresponding field, you can switch between none, one, two, or three lines. With the help of advanced search fields, you can refine your search in various ways: You can filter by a specific date range, subject, recipient, sender, or file formats. This makes it easy to track all correspondence with a customer on a specific topic and, if desired, compile it into a document.

Support for Wildcards and Boolean Operators

The add-in also recognizes and processes so-called wildcards, placeholders like * at the beginning, in between, or at the end of search terms. These Outlook search features are useful when you only know part of a search term-when such characters are used, the program adapts to the corresponding criteria. Entered terms are automatically completed, allowing you to display all content that begins or ends with a certain string. You can further refine your search by using Boolean operators like “AND” and “–” to include or exclude certain keywords. Other operators include:

… and many more.

Want to use these search parameters without entering Boolean operators? No problem: Under advanced search fields, all these parameters can be set with just one click. For example, if you want to search only for emails from a specific time period, Lookeen automatically opens a calendar where you can easily select the desired range. This allows you to filter your search results without additional input.

Incremental Search-As-You-Type Feature 

The integrated incremental search function is accurate and delivers quick results. This Outlook search feature from Lookeen means that you no longer have to type the full search term, as the add-in suggests matches as you type. Lookeen also remembers your search queries, or you can save them as favorites. Keywords are highlighted in both the results list and the preview, so you can instantly see which document contains the searched term. Additionally, with the add-in, you can edit and save local documents such as Microsoft® Word or Excel files directly in the preview. The respective programs don’t even need to be started, saving you even more time with Lookeen.
