Outlook 2010 mail index - Google Desktop not working..

We've upgraded our Office to 2010 and overall it's pretty good experience except one minor issue which is with Outlook 2010. I've been using Google Desktop Search (GDS) for years and by far I can say this is the best tool to search e-mail and its content.

But with Outlook my GDS couldn't find any e-mails. Windows Desktop Search or Live search &  lookeen (www.lookeen.net) works fine with Outlook 2010 so I am more inclined to guess that the problem is at Google domain.

In Google support forums, the support folks seems not interested to answer the question. Is it the end of Google Desktop?? May be with new OS like Windows 7, the OS vendors did a better job on search functionality but GDS still has it's own place for the great performance and familiar interface. Hope there will be a new release from Google.
