EasyFind is an alternative to or supplement of Spotlight and finds files, folders or contents in any file without the need for indexing.
This is especially useful if you are tired of impossibly slow indexing, outdated or corrupted indices or if you are just looking for features missing in the Finder or Spotlight.
NOTE: EasyFind 4.7 can only be downloaded via the Mac App Store (the download link will launch its App Store page). To purchase/download applications via the App Store an Apple account is required.
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 multithreading.
· Uses very little memory.
