Lookeen for Manufacturing & Research
Specifications, CAD data, test reports, source code and the project correspondence around them grow for years on drives and in mailboxes. Lookeen searches all of it by file name and content – in one step.
Typical challenges
Huge file collections
Project drives with hundreds of thousands of files and deeply nested folders.
Knowledge in email
Decisions and approvals often live in emails and attachments, not in the file share.
Many formats
Besides Office and PDF, everyday work includes drawings, diagrams, archives and source code.
How Lookeen helps
More than 300 file formats
Lookeen indexes Office, PDF and text formats as well as CAD files, diagrams, archives, images and source code. You decide which types are searched by content.
Drives and mailboxes together
Network drives, Exchange, Microsoft 365 – including the Online Archive and OneDrive with Lookeen Server – and PST archives appear in one result list.
Narrow results down precisely
Filter by file type, path, size, date, sender or recipient. Wildcards, fuzzy search and proximity operators help with part numbers and technical terms.
Link projects with tags
Assign documents and emails to a project with a tag and find everything for it with tag:projectname.
Summarize with AI
Optionally, Lookeen AI summarizes long reports, checks documents for issues or drafts replies. Results are drafts for review.
Mindful of slow networks
Indexing can be throttled, paused, or stopped automatically when a slow network connection is detected.
Protecting your know-how
- On-premises: With Lookeen Server, the index stays on your own drives. Indexed content never leaves your network.
- Access as before: Results are filtered by the rights in Active Directory, the file system and Exchange – department folders stay department folders.
- AI with local models: Lookeen AI works with language models in your own infrastructure – documents never leave your network. AI is off by default and only enabled when an administrator chooses to; customer data is never used for training. Learn more
