Powerful Search Tool for Hard-to-Find Files: EasyFind
EasyFind is a powerful search tool that allows users to find hard-to-reach files on their Mac. Unlike Spotlight, EasyFind does not require any indexing, making it a flexible and efficient option. With EasyFind, users can perform in-depth searches and find files that Spotlight may miss. It is easy to use and does not require any complex setup.
One of the advantages of EasyFind is its ability to search for hidden files or corrupted indices that Spotlight cannot detect. It offers features such as Boolean operators and wildcard search terms, allowing users to refine their searches according to specific criteria. Additionally, EasyFind can search for invisible files inside packages and allows users to define the file extensions they want to search for.
However, the way EasyFind presents search results can be quite confusing. The results are not organized, making it challenging to navigate through the folders and files related to the search terms. Although the search depth is impressive, finding the desired file among the highlighted hits can be time-consuming compared to Spotlight.
Overall, EasyFind is a useful tool to complement Spotlight for finding files that the latter may not be able to reach. However, until the search results are better organized, it may not be suitable for exclusive use.
