Brilliant if you're an Outlook regular


As a regular Outlook user the main benefit is being able to search all your files outside Outlook as well as Outlook's own folders, emails, contacts appointments. Find all relevant docs. both Word and outlook folders for an individual takes sometimes only 5 secs. As a recruiter I can find all refs to a candidate emails, word doc.CV/resumes in seconds. Obvious downside is you need Outlook on for it to work but as I use Outlook all day every day it's brilliant, a 'must have'!

Featured Talkback

In association with Intel
Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
