About:
Find Any File is a powerful, native macOS search utility designed to locate files with speed and precision. It offers advanced search criteria including boolean operators, wildcards, and file attributes that go beyond Spotlight's capabilities. The tool provides instant results and allows users to save and reuse complex search queries for recurring tasks.
Key Features:
  • Advanced search with boolean logic and wildcards
  • Search by file content, metadata, and specific attributes
  • Instant results with real-time filtering
  • Save and organize frequently used searches
  • Dual-pane browser for efficient file management
Use Cases:
  • Locating specific files when Spotlight indexing fails or is incomplete
  • Performing complex searches across multiple volumes and network shares
  • Finding files based on obscure metadata or content patterns
Alternatives:
  • Spotlight – Native macOS search, less flexible for complex queries
  • Hazel – Automates file organization rather than focused search
  • EasyFind – Alternative third-party finder with similar direct search capabilities
