I send/receive lots of email and constantly search for previous correspondence, names of people, attachments, etc. I couldn't live without X1 Desktop Search and I keep it running at all times. It will index nearly every file type that I use including Outlook message content and message attachments, pdf file content, and all MS file types.
I use it mainly for its Outlook abilities (also works with Mozilla, OE and Eudora) but it indexes not only the name of the file but its content, and is searchable/filterable in many different ways and allows you to view the 'result' of the search, not just the name or location of the file or message.
Indexing can be set to include or exclude specific file types. I use it on my laptop but I believe there is a server version.
The initial indexing takes a while but incremental indexes are quite fast.
Unfortunatly it's not free. In fact it is pricier than I would like but I have not fund a better alternative.
