Couldn’t find anything without this tool. It is ESSENTIAL to my sanity!!! LOVE IT!

per ora funziona bene

What a wonderful time saver! Almost too good to be true. Find’s files immediately. One of the hardest parts of daily work is finding where you put things. HoudahSpot saves so much time and just works!

loved it for decades. still perfect

I’m getting used to HoudahSpot. It seems better than spotlight in a few ways: construct and save detailed custom searches, results can include file meta, easy to pull up files and go to files in finder. One glitch, it seems, is if I do a custom search and then start another similar search by changing the word(s) in the tags or name box, HoudahSpot starts searching one letter by letter. This freezes the program and finder. The memory usage goes up to 250 GB (lots of files). One needs to call up a new custom search each time, it seems. Maybe user error, but I can’t solve this issue.

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.

solid, essential

I really appreciate that I can set directories to ignore in the search with this app. It also is far better at finding things than the default search. I’m glad to finally have a functional search that lets me find what I’m looking for with whatever keywords pop into my mind!

I really like HoudahSpot and have been using it for awhile. Glad it’s here

Es demasiado útil. Funciona rápida y perfectamente para encontrar lo que se está buscando.

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

What an insanely useful and well-thoughtout tool.

Not easy to specify icloud drive. Can’t easily use templates.

This should be on every Mac.

Great app

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…
