## Considerate in the background

Lookeen indexes while you work without slowing your computer down.

-   **Own process:** Lookeen runs independently of Outlook and other programs.
-   **Controllable indexing:** speed, scheduled pauses, on battery and on slow networks.
-   **Notifications:** if you want them, when indexing starts or ends or when favourite results change.
-   **Centrally managed:** every setting can be preset via [Group Policy](https://lookeen.com/solutions/enterprise-search/group-policy-gpo).
