Think Mac OS X's Spotlight could use some help, especially when searching for text files? Download EasyFind, an alternative to (or supplement of) Spotlight and find files, folders, or contents in any file without indexing. EasyFind is especially useful for those tired of slow or impossible indexing, outdated or corrupted indices, or those just looking for features missing in the Finder or Spotlight. Highlights: - Boolean operators, wildcards, phrases - Extended Boolean operators, similar to DEVONthink and DEVONagent - Immediate searches, no indexing required - Finds invisible files and files inside packages (something Spotlight doesn't do) - Displays the location of each file in a separate column - Previews files using Quick Look (Mac OS X 10.5 or later) - Provides contextual menus and services - Supports drag-and-drop - Very responsive, thanks to multithreading - Uses very little memory. This maintenance update adds the possibility to quickly select the current active Finder window for searching, allows dropping files and folders onto EasyFind's icon for setting the search target, and adds a Portuguese localization.

Fixed: Minor user interface issues. 4.8.2 Feb 28, 2012. This update extends the Boolean & Wildcards option, shows the number of found files in the Dock, improves compatibility, and updates links to the new DEVONtechnologies website. NEW: Option Boolean & Wildcards supports now words separated by hyphens (like searching in DEVONagent Pro 3.x or in DEVONthink/note 2.x already does), for example e-mail is identical to email OR 'e mail' and therefore matches e.g. Email, e-mail or e mail.

Characters separated by dots are considered to be abbreviations and therefore handled like words separated by hyphens, e.g. The term a.b.c is equal to 'a b c' OR abc and matches a b c, a.b.c, abc, a-b-c etc. NEW: Displays the number of founds items in its Dock icon - Improved: Drag-and-drop is more compatible to certain applications. Improved: Updated links to the new DEVONtechnologies website. 4.8.1 Aug 15, 2011. NEW: Search results can be moved, copied, or aliased e.g. To Finder windows or the Desktop by holding no, Option or Command-Option when dragging.

NEW: Command Edit Find to focus the search field of the frontmost search window or to open a new search window. NEW: Command-dot and Escape can be used to cancel a search, too.

Improved: Automatic encoding handling while searching file contents. UTF-8 or ASCII is used in case that the encoding couldn't be detected. Improved: Renamed services include the application name and don't use a sub-menu on Mac OS X 10.5.x anymore. 4.7.1 Mar 23, 2011. Improved: Boolean+Wildcards is renamed to Unix-Wildcards if searching for file and/or folder names is enabled. Operators and the options Ignore Umlauts and Fuzzy are not available in this mode and wildcards are applied to whole names, not to words. Therefore queries like 'NS.h', '.plist' or '0-9.pdf' work again.

Improved: Phrases of Boolean+Wildcards can now contain simple asterisk wildcards, e.g. 'word1. word2'. This is similar to the BEFORE operator but more precise.

Improved: Kind column can be resized and is wider by default Improved: Adding to DEVONthink Pro (Office) uses services internally so that the group selector (if enabled) is no longer displayed for each file/folder. Requires DEVONthink Pro (Office) 2.0.4 or later. Version 2.0.8 (or later) recommended. Improved: Updating of Open With menu is up to 30 times faster. Fixed: Possible memory leak. 4.7 Feb 24, 2011. ElvisMelb, Was the best search tool hands down until APFS (Apple File System) in macOS High Sierranow useless This was by far the best search tool for the Mac of any option, far superior to Spotlight because it performed the search live rather than relying on a catalog file that might be out of date, and because it made it easy to find hidden or system files.

Unfortunately, APFS (Apple File System) that came with mac OS High Sierra is not compatible with this software, making it beyond slow and essentially unusable. If you visit the developer’s web site, you’ll see in the support pages and comments that they’re not all that concerned with updating a free piece of software. I can understand their position, but I’d be happy to pay for it if I could to have it work again. For those of you considering the software and have an APFS-formatted drive, don’t bother.

BlueSkyWoman, Saves me so much time I have been using EasyFind since 2012 when I started a new job with a company that was Mac based and was new to digital filing. The files were disorganized chaos with no naming rules and files were everywhere and not consistently named. So i volunteered to be a model for mac. Also at that time trying to use the Apple search feature was miserable. I have saved so much time with EasyFind by pointing it at a folder in Finder and letting it search. It brings me every file, tells me where it is located and lets me open the file or the containing folder, and more.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I echo other’s sentiments - 10 stars! BlueSkyWoman, Saves me so much time I have been using EasyFind since 2012 when I started a new job with a company that was Mac based and was new to digital filing.

I echo other’s sentiments - 10 stars! Claidheamdanns, 10 STAR App! Can’t say enough good about this app. We originally got it because we had a folder on a PC file server that we were trying to find files on, and it would sometimes take up to 15 minutes just to load up the folder, let alone search it. This app searched and found the files we were looking for LITERALLY in 15 seconds. Now we use it for everything, even Mac folders that the Finder is taking FOREVER to search through — EasyFind does the job in seconds — sometimes almost faster than you can type out what you are looking for.

Major kudos to this developer!!! Claidheamdanns, 10 STAR App!
