I looked at this and it has a few cool features but it seems no one here has used the FINDER'S "Find" command nor ever looked at the "Other..." attributes options etc. MUCH of what this does can be done in the Finder and after looking at their web site and trying the program I came away thinking they've misrepresented what comes with EVERY Mac by way of searching because they seem to intentionally focus on Spotlight ignoring the FINDER'S "Find" command capabilities.

You can add multiple criteria and using the "Other" operator find using even more meta data.
Just a comment and FYI and not a "ding" on the application only pointing out your needs my be more than spotlight but less than what this offers and in that case the FINDER may work for you!

This application is exceptionally hideous and provides for a really janky experience, but if you can stomach that it kinda works, sometimes.

Three tips for those who need candyfloss interface to use and understand the value of a computer programme: 1. READ THE OPTIONS in the dropdown menus. They are in very simple english. 2. For difficult to find items, SEARCH UNDER local volumes + User Home (in other words everywhere) 3. Houdah Spot offers additional functionality of helping with computer maintainace to POWER USERS. Do not underestimate this. Bottom line for those who criticise without using it perhaps it is time for them to discover Windows 7 !!!
