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

You know, I hate to throw cold water on this, but the program is hard to use. It does supply some features that spotlight should probably have built-in. However, it has the look and feel of a program that was not thought out at all when it was initially released and has simply had little pieces tacked on here and there. The developer needs to take this rather nice application from a technical aspect and turn it into a user-friendly program. The people out here who are raving about it are clearly people who have figured out how to use it, and that's nice, but if anyone actually wants this program to be accepted by the general Macintosh community the program clearly needs an overhaul.

Wonderful piece of software - Version: 2.3.2, 1/5/2009 03:13AM PST

Since I downloaded HoudahSpot a few months ago I wonder how I could do without it. It is far superior to Spotlight, which I stopped using altogether. Searching is flawless, you can search for a range of various criteria. Searching is fast, delivers good results, and so far I did not find a single glitch or bug.
A really well done piece of software. Well done, Houdah!

HoudahSpot runs rings around Spotlight. You can find everything you're looking for VERY quickly and you can create all the templates you need to do highly customized searches. Although HoudaSpot depends on the Spotlight index to do its searches, it seems to do them with a much higher success rate.

I'm still waiting for this outfit with the dumb name to publish a contact organizer called "HoudahMan."
For more info:

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!
