I'd like to index Thunderbird Portable with a desktop search tool. I'm willing to use X1, Copernic, or Windows Desktop Search, or some sort of Thunderbird-only indexer. (Can't use Google -- it is blocked by policy.)
When I try to tell any of these tools to index Thunderbird, they can't find Thunderbird, and they don't give me a chance to manually specify where to find Thunderbird data.
Yes, I know that portable and desktop-search sounds like an oxymoron.
Anyone successfully indexing Thunderbird Portable?
TIA

And it's doubtful. Desktop indexers are designed to work with installed apps only. Portable apps are not installed.
You'd need to make a feature request to the indexer publishers.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I'm working on a drive search engine at the moment (fully portable, of course) and I think it indexes them. I'll let you (the OP) know if it does.
