Search File Servers & Network Drives
The file is called "final_v3_new.docx" and it's somewhere on the S: drive. Lookeen finds documents not just by name but by their content – on your own PC, on network drives and centrally on file servers.
How Lookeen helps
More than 300 formats by content
Office and LibreOffice, PDF, text, images, CAD, diagrams, archives and source code. You decide which types are indexed by content – file names are always searchable.
Filters instead of folder clicking
Narrow results by path, drive, file type, size and modification date – or set targeted filters on name, path and text.
Preview with highlighting
Documents open in the preview with search terms highlighted, with paging and zoom – no need to launch the original application.
Only permitted folders
Lookeen Server takes over file permissions at index time. Department folders stay invisible to others – in search, too.
Easy on your network
- Control indexing: Adjust the speed, set a cooldown after each run, or pause indexing on battery.
- Detect slow networks: Indexing pauses automatically on a slow connection.
- One shared index: With Lookeen Server, a central service indexes the file servers once for everyone instead of on every workstation.
