A brief "Help" document would be useful - Version: 4.0.1, 5/8/2008 03:18PM PST

I absolutely love EasyFind and never consider using Spotlight or Control-F.

But, it would be great if a brief Help pulldown dialog or and RTF/PDF file was made available. I would like to know the difference between "Move to Trash" and"Destroy". Is the latter just a combination of move-to-trash and empty or it is more, such as a secure delete?

At least unlike Spotlight, it works - Version: 4.0.1, 12/19/2007 09:25AM PST

Not sure what's up with Spotlight in Leopard but it just doesn't seem to work finding some items (and yes, I've rebuilt the damn thing). EasyFind is faster and, well it finds what I want. The price is right. I was really hoping Spotlight would be the deal this time out but nope. So EF is an excellent and functional substitute!

Indispensable application! - Version: 4.0, 12/10/2007 06:45PM PST

Great little helper. Finds everything and lists it with all neceessary information. Under the line much better and faster than Apple+F (does not find a lot) or Spotlight (very little file information). Thanks a lot to the developer!
