EasyFind is a supplement or a simple to use and user-friendly alternative to Spotlight which helps you search files, folders or contents in any file without the need for prior indexing.
EasyFind is especially useful if you are tired of impossibly slow indexing, outdated or corrupted indices or if you are just looking for features Spotlight is currently missing.
Here are some key features of "EasyFind":
· 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 multi-threading.
· Uses very little memory.
Requirements:
· 64-bit processor
