I use Microsoft’s outlook for my work mail. As I was reading PC World magazine, I came across this recommended outlook plug-in. I went on and installed it from xobni

After installation, the indexing process started. A total size of 1.5 GB, I am not sure how long it took, because I installed this just before leaving work and I kept it running and I left

The interface is really nice, it’s just another pane added in the view and the most thing I love is how fast the searching feature is and how neat and the information it provides. First I was a bit annoyed that I didn’t get to choose the folders I search, sometimes I just want to search the inbox, the sent items or any other sub-folder I created. I did that because it was such a hassle using the built-in search so I would narrow the search space like that but with xobni it didn’t make much of a difference because it is fast and informs you where the item was found

Another nice feature, it extracts the contacts information in a nice way from the email message itself. And provides information history about that specific contact. The files exchanged, the chain of emails, the contact’s people network and another cool feature are the information some kind of statistics, who you send emails to the most, received from, fastest response, simple funny facts, there are charts, you can take a look at all these facts when you’re bored or need a break!

Today, I saw another beta module added, where they ask questions, like a survey, today’s question was, Are you happy? didn’t answer this question of course

I’m still happy with this plug-in, it made searching a lot easier and much more faster
