HoudahSpot ReviewBest of the Spotlight alternatives - Version: 1.2, 6/15/2006 02:55PM PST

Finally, my files seem to belong to me again - I can now find them all. I particularly like the detailed control it gives over searches: eg “find all files modified in the last 36 hours other than folders” or “find all files of type A, containing the word B, in folder C, modified before date D, other than those containing word E in the filename”. You can save complex searches and recall them with a keyboard shortcut. Its quite helpful to study the templates in the menubar (eg 'Long lost files'). It was only when I did this that I finally grasped how to set up a boolean "not" search.

HoudahSpot ReviewAppears to be the best - Version: 1.1.2, 6/10/2006 08:33PM PST

This appears to be the most complete, nice, easy and intuitive SpotLight substitute GUI. It also provides a lot of information on the found files. Plus, searches can stay "live", meaning that you leave the results window open and any new files that match the search criteria are added to the list in real time. It definitely lowers my search frustration.

This is more like the Spotlight interface Apple should have shipped. Intuitive and powerful. Best Spotlight interface yet.

I have been testing houdahspot since beta1 and it is definitely a nice and powerful tool for those who make heavy use of spotlight features and are looking for extended features.
