EasyFind for Mac

File, folder, and text contents search tool.

Free
In English
4.5
Based on 153 user rates

EasyFind overview

Unlike Spotlight, EasyFind finds files and folders by name or content using advanced Boolean operators similar to DEVONthink and DEVONagent, wildcards, and phrases. It does not require indexing, is fast, and uses very little memory. Of course EasyFind doesn't just give you the files, it also shows previews and gives you many other options to work with them. And it's free.

App Warz! There's a blatant app war between users of 'EasyFind' and 'Find Any File' whereby BOTH are outrageously downvoted in the 'Similar Apps' list on each of their pages. At the moment, 'Find Any File' is downvoted to -18 on this page, which is a sick absurdity. 'EasyFind' is currently downvoted to -10 over at the 'Find Any File' page, which is idiotic. The archaic abandonware 'DiskTracker' rates better on both pages, which is of course total nonsense. CHECK OUT BOTH 'EasyFind' AND 'Find Any File'! BOTH have their uses and both are free to use, providing FAR better results than Apple's hobbled and blundering Spotlight. So: Cut the App Warz crap! Seriously.

Great app, I just discovered it. I'm using it to find the files that App Cleaner misses, and it works perfectly on Ventura. I can see how it will also help me in my work, which involves thousands of files!

This gem is the best and easiest search application available for OS X / MacOS IMO. I also own a license to HoudahSpot but I keep getting back to EasyFind as IMO it is much faster at setting the search operation I need. HoudahSpot has probably more features but, if so, I have no use for them at all. Highly recommended, and thank you developer for making this available (and I wouldn't mind paying for it).

EasyFind is one of the very best applications I've ever used. Several times I have downloaded software that did not work out and EasyFind found all the bits and pieces that needed to go to the trash or be destroyed along with dragging the app to the trash. Great tool! Highly recommended!!
