Repost from Xobni.com press release:
Announcing Xobni Plus – Xobni’s most powerful Outlook search tool ever
Matt Brezina July 14th, 2009
When we ask Xobni users why they love Xobni they say a lot of really nice things, but a universal truth is that our users love Xobni search. Here’s just a sample of the comments we see on Twitter:
Thank god for #xobni I found a very important email that I thought I lost! @jasonmun
Xobni beats Outlook’s native search. Knocks it out of the park. @danieljohnsonjr
Xobni really kicks serious butt in outlook. just saved me at least an hour of pain searching for mail and figuring out file transfer history. @madguy000
I can’t live without Xobni anymore. It beats any desktop search for emails and their attachments. @paullaberge
Xobni is ingenious for fast searching through email archives – no sorting will beat search speed. Outlook doesn’t match in speed @improvedk
Today, we take Xobni search to a whole new level with Xobni Plus. The features of Xobni Plus, our first premium product, were created directly from the feedback of our users. You wanted phrase search – we made it. You wanted support for Boolean searches – done. You want to search appointments and tasks – you got it. You want to search Xobni’s massive address book in new places – watch this.
Xobni Plus users get these exclusive benefits:
- An advanced search query builder
- The ability to search within conversations and networks
- Support for phrases and Boolean queries
- Xobni Rank-powered AutoSuggest
- Advanced conversation and network filtering
- As well as our new top level premium technical support for one year
