The main area of the EasyFind main window is reserved for displaying the items that match the query: you will be able to see their names, the creation and modification date, the files size and kind, but also the full disk path. It does not require indexing, is fast, and uses very little memory. Right off the bat, you must input the search criteria, adjust the filter settings, and select the disk or folder you want to analyze. Unlike Spotlight, EasyFind finds files and folders by name or content using advanced Boolean operators similar to DEVONthink and DEVONagent, wildcards, and phrases.

I’m sure there is some fancy way to make Mac’s internal search functionality better, but I haven’t found a predictable and consistent way yet, therefore I use the free EasyFind app which you can get here from the Mac App Store.ĭownload it, and as soon as you open it up, you can search for any text or file format. Unfortunately, some types of files can be hard to find quickly, you can even search for the exact name of the file, and it won’t show up. If you’re looking for installed apps, no problem, fire up your Spotlight Search and start typing the initial letters of the app and it will pop up in the search results immediately. Searching for things on Mac feels like a combination of awesome and fucking terrible.
