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…

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

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.

Sometimes displaying a file causes Spotlight to re-index it. This process should be transparent - i.e. HoudahSpot should replace the item in search results with the new index entry without you noticing it. When the system is busy, the process can be slow and a file may briefly disappear and reappear in search results. If you see files vanish permanently from search results, you most likely have a damaged Spotlight index. Rebuild the Spotlight index for the whole drive (not just individual folder) to fix the problem. Contact Houdah Software support for detailed instructions or the Apple support web site for "Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac".

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.

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

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

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
