So far, a great addition. I could do most of this in Finder, but the interface is much friendlier.

Pretty helpful — can find some files faster and with much more precision than the default spotlight search. The app could do with a bit of an onboarding process for a smoother UX though.

I don’t use it much but when I need to search for something on my computer I always go to HoudahSpot

Me gusta, tiene lo que no tiene finder.

Je suis un peu déçu, je trouve plus de choses qu’avec le moteur de recherche du finder ok, mais malheureusement vraiment pas tout, loin de là…. je ne comprends pas qu’on n’arrive pas à avoir un moteur de recherche décent sur Mac

Bien pratique pour retrouver un fichier perdu dans les entrailles de Macbook. Cette une application qui n’est pas gourmande en ressources et qui rend bien des services.

awesome

Good at what it does. A bit too complicated for my daily use, though. Solid app, just not sure if I need its complexity. A lighter version would be fantastic, though

Si blocca e va in crash quando si seleziona l’anteprima dei file…

Fast and reliable, functional UI. I love the ability to save presets for reuse. Merci, Pierre!

HoudahSpot is amazingly useful. Very flexible. I especially like the ability to export the results of searches – as a CSV file or as SmartFolder. Great app, and a wonderfully responsive developer

HoudahSpot is easy to use and fast. It is one of my must-have apps.

I love how the file name is separated from the extension when renaming (I wish that were an option for MacOS/all programs) but the behavior when using Shift to expand the highlighted text is abnormal/different from standard in that it reduces highlight from the direction selected rather than increasing toward the direction selected. Having the option of using the standard behavior would make HoudahSpot near perfect!

Bien

Fantastic app. The search function is far more cusotmizeable that Spotlight searches leading to faster searches

It’s a nice concept, but every time I use it, I first see all the search results I expected. Then, slowly, one by one, they disappear from the results list. Exiting and restarting the program doesn’t bring them back. It seems that it’s the OCR hits that sequentially disappear after being found.

This app searches the Spotlight index, and gives a nice simple interface for filtering results. If your Spotlight is not working, then this app won't work either. That said, it's a great simple app. You can search text inside images.

HoudahSpot is my (working) Spotlight :-)

This tool is amazing for finding the things Spotlight can't. I use it daily.

Great search app for text especially within files
