Where would we Mac users be without Search and Spotlight functions? Well sometimes the answer is: right where we started. Unfortunately, Search isn’t always the best way to get at the files and folders we’re really looking for.
HoudahSpot offers a more thorough search than either of MacOS’s native tools. It uses Spotlight index to peer directly into files, looking for specific and customizable search queries. It’s basically a supercharged Search function for Mac, and right now you can get HoudahSpot for just $19 at Cult of Mac Deals.
With HoudahSpot 4, you can search by name, text, content kind, file extension, author, recipient, pixel count, among a bunch of other parameters. Additionally, you can combine hundreds of criteria for surgical searches, and create customized columns in the search results list. While searching, you can preview files and text before opening them to make sure they’re the right match. If you find yourself running the same search types regularly, you can set up search templates to save time, and create snippets of frequent search criteria. Plus, you can specify subfolders to include or exclude, examine multiple locations at once, among other time-saving tools.
