    What is EasyFind?

    Think Mac OS Xs Spotlight could use some help? Download EasyFind, an alternative to (or supplement of) Spotlight and find files, folders, or contents in any file without indexing.

    Immediate searches, no indexing required
    Finds invisible files and files inside packages (something Spotlight doesnt do)
    Displays the location of each file in a separate column
    Previews files using Quick Look (Mac OS X 10.5 or later)
    Provides contextual menus and services
    Supports drag-and-drop
    Very responsive, thanks to multithreading
    Uses very little memory

    I've disabled Spotlight for some folders with a lot of PDFs files that require a very high work for spotlight to index and I use EasyFind to quickly select all these PDFs to take a look at them.

    I use this instead of uninstaller apps like app-zapper and app-cleaner. It searches the whole of my hard drive in a few seconds and lets me find literally all traces of an app, unlike the "uninstallers" which only search certain folders.
    10/10

    I use it daily, since spotlight gives crappy results since I have it turned off on some drives due to cpu clogging... this app is real fun! and besides runs on low memory!
