Outlook Archive Search
Outlook Extension Search offers the convenience of searching the GFI OneConnect Archive Store from within Outlook. Searching can be performed on the most common set of email attributes within the Outlook folders that have been synchronized with the GFI OneConnect Archive.
GFI OneConnect Outlook Extension and the GFI Archive Store
When the GFI OneConnect Archive is first accessed, the email message list is empty, by design. To display search results execute a search. Entering a wildcard such as a % (percent sign) returns all email messages in the Archive Store.
Limitations
Grouping of search results is not supported. Since the Outlook Extension search does not support grouping of search results, the Search Folder > New Search Folder... > Mail from and to specific people option may display an error message and incorrect results.
Searching by attachment name or attachment contents may cause unexpected search results or may cause the search to not return any messages.
If Microsoft's 'LoadBehavior' Outlook Add-in registry key is used to disable Outlook Extension, on a system that is enabled for Outlook Integrated Search, it will still show the Archive Store in Outlook, however, it won't produce any search results.
Accessing the archived emails
GFI OneConnect offers two different options inside the Outlook Extension to access archived emails:
Searching the GFI Archive Store
