Lookout itself continued to be traded as freeware, but from Outlook version 2007 onwards it could no longer be installed or only with considerable modifications. Lookout was acquired by Microsoft in 2004 for allegedly 6 million US dollars, and then integrated into Windows Desktop Search.

The design of the first versions was very similar to the Lookout e-mail search software from the Silicon Valley startup Lookout Soft Inc. Compared to conventional e-mail client search engines, the Lookeen index also contains the entire Outlook folder structure. In Lookeen 10 this extension is optional.
The previous version, Lookeen 8, had to be integrated directly into Microsoft Outlook as a pure Outlook extension based on the Outlook add-on concept. Local files can be edited and saved directly in the preview without having to start Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel separately. The application is called up by pressing the Strgbutton twice or via the start menu. The index file is only saved in the local network to protect the data even in corporate and virtual desktop infrastructure environments (VDI), the index file is only stored in the corporate network and not in a cloud, for example. After installation and initial indexing, Lookeen allows you to quickly and easily search through personal files on the desktop and in Outlook. Since the introduction of Lookeen 10, the shareware has been an independent desktop search tool.
