Google desktop won't index your old Outlook email?

Let's face it. No one would ever choose to use Outlook but in many work environments, we're forced to. And why does Outlook suck the most? The email search capability is shit. Which is why I love Google Desktop. I use it all the time to find emails on topics from years ago.

Recently I underwent a laptop upgrade. Here in our office, the Administrator controls most everything and they installed all my software, including Google desktop. Once desktop was done indexing, I noticed that when I searched my emails, no old results popped up. When I checked the desktop index status, it was complete with its indexing but only indexed a few hundred (out of thousands) of emails.

What in the fuck?

Reinstall, reinstall, no good. Fuck.

Google says Outlook has to be open during the install. Some other people on the Interwebs say that Desktop has to be installed at the user level (not the Admin level where our Admins prefer it).

Not sure which solves the problem but here's what eventually fixed this and got my old outlook reindexed.

(1) Uninstall old Google Desktop including index. Poof.
(2) Administrator grants the user (me) temporary install privileges.
(3) Open Outlook so it's running when Desktop installation begins.
(4) Install Google desktop.

And voila. The old Outlook emails started indexing. Unfortunately, my Admin remembered step

(5) Reset user privileges back to retard-level so stupid user doesn't install porn and viruses and generally fuck up network.
