i remember reading somewhere that if you installed the baby version of windows search server (on server2008) it could be configured to index at night when you were in bed and funky stuff like that. havent tried it myself though. i’m using google desktop and its alright i guess.
lookout’s been rolled into the latest version of desktop search from ms. i use that at work with xp/outlook2k7. you’re prob better off using that now, rather than lookout. it does things a bit different than lookout but mostly its tolerable. i have many gigs of psts and shared folders indexed and mostly its pretty responsive and accurate. i try to rebuild the indexes every few months though, just to ensure it stays fresh.
