Description
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 EasyFind is especially useful for those tired of slow or impossible indexing, outdated or corrupted indices, or those just looking for features missing in the Finder or Spotlight.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
What's New in Version 4.9.3
- Improved support for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Mavericks.
- Various bug fixes.

Wish I’d downloaded sooner
You know the story. I decided to work on a spreadsheet all morning. Saved it and then BAM ! disappeared. Spent 45 mins on Google looking at how to recover and get access to hidden system files and folders. Gave up and got this. Solved in like 5 seconds!!! Great app
I must be thick!
Having used computers for over 30 years I am at a loss to discover how this app actually works…..I think I’m
missing something that the non existant instructions are telling me! I’m giving five stars as it must be good as everyone else thinks so!
Finds the files opened and saved from email in temp storage
Just what I need to recover a file opened from email then saved and so in a temp folder not visible in Spotlight. Thank you!
