Could Start8 Be Made To Search Through Outlook?

Windows 7 search used to also search through Microsoft Outlook emails, calendar items etc., but I noticed that Start8 doesn't search through Outlook items. I found this feature in Windows 7 to be very useful.

Could Start8 be made to search through Outlook also?

Yes I want this too. Windows 7/Vista searched basically searched the MAPI store - so emails from "Windows Mail" or Outlook were returned. Also, it looks like Control Panel keywords are not searched, just the God Mode folder is searched. For example, type UAC in Windows 7 Start Menu and see. Now type the same in Start8. The Control Panel tasks have keywords which are defined in an XML file (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144188(v=vs.85).aspx) and this XML is stored inside shell32.dll (if you see with Resource Hacker).
