Requires some effort - Felix01
For users who take the time to (correctly) learn how to use this app, it provides fantastic results. But I will agree, the developer could do some work making it more intuitive.Sunday, May 24 2009 @ 12:14 PM PDT
Difficult to use - Houdah Software
As the developer of HoudahSpot, I would love to hear more detailed feedback on which areas of the program you found hard to use.Every effort was made for HoudahSpot to cater to novice and expert users alike. Beginners should feel very much at ease with the search form provided by default. It is reminiscent of many other file search tools and should not throw off anybody.
I sometimes hear that the concept of "preferred template" is hard to grasp. Considering the shear power of endless customization, I still judge the required effort to be adequate.
Which features do you feel have been tacked on? Granted HoudahSpot already has a long history. It however has also seen a complete rewrite with the release of version 2.0. The main purpose of the rewrite to provide a refined interface on the existing feature set as well as room to grow. I don't think the feature set has yet outgrown the current design.

Difficult to use???? - starcrown
I have had Houdah Spot on my Power Mac for about three months now. So far I have just used it for simple routine searches. Within that limitation I find the user interface cleaner and the presentation of search results vastly clearer than with Spotlight. It has been a joy to use and I would strongly recommend it.Wednesday, July 22 2009 @ 11:09 AM PDT
