Hi Channing,  
I was hoping to speed up the native search of MS Outlook by turning off some of the Windows Search options, but then it occurred to me that Listary might be using the same cache of indexed items for its search. Is it safe to alter or disable Windows Search, or is that used by Listary? Thanks.

Hello,

Listary doesn’t use any data from Windows Search. It’s safe to disable it.
