Search ZIP files with Spotlight
Ziplight Spotlight Plugin is a useful little plugin that allows Mac users to search for the names of files inside ZIP files using the Spotlight search function. This free and fast plugin integrates perfectly with Spotlight, making it easy to find archives within ZIP files without having to unzip them. However, it's important to note that Ziplight does not search the contents of files within the ZIP archives, but only looks for the file names.
The real strength of Ziplight is its ability to leverage the speed and reliability of Spotlight. Once installed, Ziplight seamlessly integrates with Spotlight and allows users to quickly find files within ZIP archives. It learns from the queries you make, making future searches even faster and more accurate. It's a breeze to use, and you'll forget it's even there.
Overall, Ziplight Spotlight Plugin is a valuable tool for anyone who frequently works with ZIP files on their Mac. It saves time by eliminating the need to unzip files just to check their contents. While it would be great if Apple included this functionality in future updates to Spotlight, Ziplight is a reliable and efficient solution in the meantime.
