About:
EasyFind is a powerful file search utility that locates files, folders, or specific text contents within files without requiring a pre-built index. It offers advanced search capabilities including boolean operators, wildcards, and regular expressions for precise filtering. This tool provides a fast and efficient alternative to the native macOS Spotlight search, especially for users with large or complex file systems.

Key Features:

Index-free searching for real-time results
Advanced boolean, wildcard, and regex support
Content searching within various file types
Filter by file attributes like size, date, and kind

Use Cases:

Locating a specific document when you only remember a snippet of its content
Finding all large files or old files to free up disk space
Searching network drives or external volumes that Spotlight ignores

Alternatives:

Spotlight – Native macOS search that relies on an index; faster for some queries but can miss files or be out-of-date.
fzf / ripgrep – Command-line tools that are extremely fast but require terminal usage and lack a GUI.
