The PST files are spread around 100s of directories. In addition, it is
a lengthy process to get locate the PST, open it in outlook then, add it
the indexing program, and then wait on the indexing to finish before
doing a search.
Plus I think Outlook would blow up if I tried to open 200+ PSTs files, I
have seen a script do this maybe I will give it a shot and see if
Outlook survives.

So ... adding all of the PSTs to a single Outlook profile, then using
free desktop search program to index them all at once is a problem?
Why?

I am doing some data recovery and research for a client and have
recovered over 200 PSTs files, both existing and un-deleted. Now I need
to search all of the PSTs for some keywords. If the PST contains those
key words I then need to copy those e-mail to a separate PST for the
lawyers, in addition to saving the original PST.
Anyone know of a good free or cheap way to do this, mainly just the
searching part? Opening each PST in Outlook, indexing it, then
searching it really isn't an option.
I know this can be done with e-mail arching products that archive PST
data to SQL but this is overkill and cost prohibited for this project.
