Desktop search engines, only Outlook?

I'm one of those different people, I don't use the Outlook e-mail client. Instead I've been using a program called The Bat for a few years. It handles e-mail better than Outlook and has a smaller program footprint and was searchable a couple of years ago. It's put out by RitLabs.com and it's been a great product. For those of us who use something other than Outlook, these desktop search tools don't do us any good right now when it comes to e-mail. There are many other products like Eudora and my more obscure favorite as has been mentioned.

Will desktop search be able to go beyond the standard Microsoft offerings? I see e-mail as one of the more critical search areas as that is the hardest to find anything. Thousands of e-mails equals confusion. I don't really want to use Outlook just to get some benefit of desktop search. By the way, I won't be installing Google's desktop any time soon, I still believe there are some privacy issues and until they address that, I won't be using it.
