I have disabled the windows search service because it was causing some lag on my work machine. (Conflict was about the anti-virus, my compiler and the indexer that were blocking each-others, and the search service was the only one I could disable without too much harm)
The only side effect is that now my searchs on outlook are really slow. I have 2-3 years of mails and I just can't throw everything away.
The search options for Outlook are a bit empty.
I would like to specify a time range to boost search response time, because quite often I'm looking for mails received in the last 3 months. For the others I don't care to wait few minutes to do a full scan.
Do you know any way to achieve that ? Or, as a plan B, to re-enable the search service but only for mails ?

I don't quite understand. Are you trying to simply order your email in date order? or search for email received during a specific block of time? – Matthew Williams – 2014-02-10T15:22:29.127
Do you often search back to 2 or 3 years? If only on occaison, why not just create 2 archives (1 for 3 years ago and 1 for 2 years ago), at least this means when you do a normal search you'll only be looking through 1 year's worth of data. – Dave – 2014-02-10T15:27:30.920
@MatthewWilliams : I'm trying to search in a subset of mails to avoid a very long search. – Guillaume – 2014-02-11T07:24:58.643
