Product Description:

Expanding the possibilities of Apple's Spotlight, FoxTrot Personal Search is a powerful find-by-content tool that delivers dynamic categorization, context-sensitive display of found items, flexible relevance-ranking and five different approaches to searches (exact words, wildcards, literal, single term and complex patterns). It supports over 300 file types, including PDF, Word, HTML, text, OmniOutliner and much more.

What's new in this version:

  • Implemented performance optimizations since version 2.0.4
  • Added Snow Leopard compatibility, notably when previewing a file using Quick Look
  • Implemented a new Date range categorizer which enable visual and numerical definition of a date interval for a document, along with a histogram showing frequency of hits in a given period
  • Some Spotlight metadata importers bundled with Snow Leopard were not supported, for example for HTML files
  • 2.5.1 - fixed a literal search string bug introduced in 2.5
  • Updated to build with Snow Leopard-compatible development tools
  • The "couldn't strip" warning on Leopard has been fixed
  • The ibtool error when using the Styled Text Field on Leopard has been fixed
  • Corrected an OmniOutliner importer compatibility issue
  • We no longer display January 1, 1904 as the creation dates for text preview or short pane of un-locateable documents
  • Operating System Requirements:

    This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

    • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
    • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

    There is a "Foxtrot Personal Search" and a "Foxtrot PROFESSIONAL Search," both with updates to Version 2.0.2. THEY ARE NOT ONE AND THE SAME! The download from the VersionTracker Pro Desktop indicates an update to Version 2.0.2 of "Foxtrot PROFESSIONAL Search" but downloads Version 2.0.2 of "Foxtrot Personal Search", which has its own update listing in the VTPro Desktop. As is, there are two update downloads for "Foxtrot Personal Search" but no update download for "Foxtrot PROFESSIONAL Search". VersionTracker, please correct the "Foxtrot PROFESSIONAL Search" Version 2.0.2 update download in VTPro Desktop!

    NOTE: In the past when VTPro Desktop error feedback has been provided to VersionTracker administration, typically errors have received no rectification. Hopefully such pattern, itself, will be instantaneously emended, as well!

    Finally a local search tool that can wade through thousands of documents and provide accurate results with live previews. Even hyperlinks are maintained in HTML docs.

    Amazingly fast indexing and tons of search features. A little pricey but it is one-of-a-kind.
