HoudahSpot is an advanced file search tool. It uses the existing OS X Spotlight index to make finding files a breeze.

Use HoudahSpot to locate hard-to-find files and keep frequently used files within reach.

Start with a simple search. Refine it by adding and combining criteria. Quickly sort through search results. Add columns. Apply filters. Preview files and text matches.
