Xobni should index attachment content

Yes, this would be a hot feature, and well worth paying for in pro version.

Yes I would pay for this as well - pdf's and excel files (.xls, .csv) would be most popular formats to index at the least.

this should come as part of plus! its an essential need

if it's essential, it should not be part of plus, otherwise the free version is useless, and should not be at all.

I currently use an old version of Lookout. This product indexes all documents in specified locations including emails. Unfortunately it looks like Microsoft bought and killed the product. It is starting to show its age now.


Are there plans for xobni to provide full document indexing?

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
Lookout.

There is a competitor to Xobni who is adding this feature and should be released soon!

Xobni -- You snooze you lose unfortunately.

Ok... I own a small development house - this is a perfect little project to keep the guys entertained.

Will keep you guys all posted. Shoot me an email if you want me to keep you updated on the status.

Great Evan!

If Xobni wont build it, others will.

I have been running Lookout for a few years and decided to give Xobni a try but its inability to index specific public folders and to index attachments might be the deal breaker for me to continue using Xobni.

Alright guys... I am going to develop something from scratch to meet the needs of the masses. I was thinking along these lines:

1. Work on Exchange 2007 indexing both public folders AND individual users accounts.

2. As a first attempt, the system will index Office 2007 files, at a later stage and if required, we can look at indexing PDF's

We are not going to develop a product to replace Xobni or Lookout, rather just a small little tool that will allow you to index and search the contents of attachments.

Sound Good?

Uninstalled yesterday, 6 month since going to payware, and no attachment indexing. Found another product.

here I thought all along that my attachment content was being searched, until today I Spent an hour looking for something, which i finally stumbled upon manually. Bad for you Xobni!

define upcoming? weeks? months? quarters? years. Been a loyal xobni supporter and a PAYING customer for a while, all this time i thoughth you were indexing attachments as well

Great Idea!

Eirik, its been 2 months since last post any updates on timeframes? I too suffer with the same issue and was hopeful that Xobni would help. I love the product so far and this woudl be the icing on the cake! Thanks

We need indexing of attachments NOW

Seems like you really CAN make a difference!

I'm a little bit disappointed that we haven't received any proper updates from the developers yet.

Eirik, can't you you just keep it simple and start out with PDF indexing for starters? And then follow up with other attachments later on?

I've bought the Plus edition because:

**I wanted to support this great software
**I wanted to pay so that others can keep getting it for free
**The autosuggestion feature in the "To:" field really helped me out and was worth paying for.

Eirik:
What I tell my consultants: "The customers are willing to wait for ever as long as you keep them updated on a regular basis."

Still waiting ;)
