Is there a way to use Windows Desktop Search ONLY for outlook and not the
rest of the searching capabilities.
I find feature usefull for outlook but I use Copernic for general search.
My recollection of Copernic was that it included e-mails, specifically
for Outlook and Outlook Express. You click on the Emails tab to see the
search results that only apply to emails.
I only trialed Microsoft's [Desktop] Search for a very short time. It
could dig inside many filetypes but wouldn't preview them when selected
in the search results. As I recall, you can configure where it to
search. I think it showed some paths which looked like they were
disabled (greyed out) but it really meant to exclude anything under
those paths, so delete them. You could delete all the other paths, too,
and just point at where is your Outlook's message store folder.
