The Bottom Line

Enfish Find lets you search, find and preview emails and attachments in a comprehensive manner. Searches can be saved as "Trackers", but the results returned by Enfish Find lack a tad in relevancy, and it supports only a few email clients and no instant messaging programs. Enfish Find is no longer available.
Pros
  • Enfish Find searches emails, attachments and local files
  • You can save searches as "Trackers", and Enfish Find cross-references some information
  • Enfish Find gives you a fast preview of any indexed email or attachment
Cons
  • Enfish Find does not index email as it arrives
  • Instant messaging communication is not included in Enfish Find's index
  • The results returned by Enfish Find lack a bit in relevancy and precision

Guide Review - Enfish Find 6.1.3 - Email Search Tool

Your computer with all its documents in dozens of folders and, in particular, your email client with all its messages and attachments are huge mines of critical information — if you can find it. Enfish Find takes snapshots of your files and Outlook, Outlook Express, Notes or AOL email messages (including attachments) periodically, allowing you to search quickly and precisely.

Unfortunately, while you can sort the results by a number of criteria and while using these criteria to filter search results returned by Enfish Find narrowly is easy, the results can lack a bit in overall relevancy compared to searching the web, for example.

Enfish Find makes up for that by offering fast and readily accessible previews of everything (the preview of HTML emails is not privacy conscious, though, automatically fetching remote images). Integration with the supported email clients is also good so you can open messages directly or start replies from within Enfish Find.

If you search for certain information repeatedly, Enfish Find lets you save the search criteria as a "Tracker". If the name of a tracker or a contact appears in a document, Enfish Find lets you find related information with a single click.
