Instant search of MS Outlook mail databases

If you work in a large company, and especially in a multinational one, as your humble servant, then you are 99% likely to use Microsoft Outlook in conjunction with the Microsoft Exchange Server server solution to work with email. This solution, despite the hordes of opponents from the OpenSource camp, has more positive moments than negative ones. But there is one curse that I could not come to terms with – slow search through your mail database for the desired letter according to the entered criterion. It gets to the point that Outlook can search for the letter I need for up to 10 minutes, elegantly showing me an animation with a leaf and a magnifying glass, and I, like, have to drink coffee every time? And if there is a "hot" client on the phone? Let's fight what tens of thousands of programmers of the Corporation failed to do. Let's make email search instant.

To do this, we will need a third–party application from Yandex - Yandex Personal Search.

Yandex Personal Search is a program on your computer that searches through files and emails, taking into account the morphology of the Russian language.

The program "weighs" 4.1MB, and after installation, the red letter "I" will settle in your tray. It takes some time – usually a couple of hours for Yandex Search to index your correspondence, after which it is ready to work. Not to go into details – this is a copy of the online search from Yandex, only on your computer, locally. By entering a query into the search bar, you instantly get the search result. And while the client is not reading LifeHacker.ru the manager listens to the "fairy tales" while waiting on the phone for a response from the clumsy Outlook with its search, the client, the manager reading us, makes the next order without unnecessary hassle. Found emails open either in Outlook itself or in new windows.

In fairness, it should be noted that the search using this software can be performed on the following types of data:

  • MS Word;
  • MS Excel;
  • music compositions, and with additional software plugins installed:
  • Mozilla Firefox cache;
  • TheBat mail databases! and Mozilla Thunderbird;
  • DjVu texts.

I am sure that this advice will save a huge number of hours of your time, especially in the annual cut.
