HoudahSpot is an advanced file search application for Mac users. It combines powerful search features with an intuitive interface, allowing users to quickly and easily find specific files, documents, images, and other content. The app leverages macOS's native Spotlight search engine, allowing users to search through large volumes of data with speed and precision. HoudahSpot’s advanced features include options to search by file type, file size, date modified, and more. It also includes a powerful preview mode, allowing users to preview their results before opening them. In addition, users can make use of the app's customizable search templates, which let them save and recall their search settings for future use. With its sleek design and powerful search capabilities, HoudahSpot is the perfect tool for anyone who needs to quickly find and manage large volumes of data.
FoxTrot uses one or more dedicated indexes, focused on the files related to your projects, instead of relying on the Spotlight index. It has very advanced search, refine and preview capabilities.
