Description
Search Beyond The Spotlight
Unhappy with Spotlight because it does not find files that you know to be there? Use FAF to find every file on your disks, including those usually hidden. By file name, date, size, and even plain text content (including RTF, Word and Excel files, but not PDF files nor Mails – see note below).
• Recover a file whose name you partially remember?
• See what files got changed in the past 5 minutes?
• Find all the largest files on your disk?
• Uninstall software that leaves files in hidden places where Spotlight doesnt look?
• Search with regular expressions?
Find Any File (FAF) is the perfect tool for these tasks.
You can even search on disks that are not indexed by Spotlight, including network server (NAS) volumes.
Find Any File can find files that Spotlight doesnt, e.g. those inside bundles and packages, and inside system folders that are usually excluded from Spotlight search.
Contrary to Spotlight, it does not use a database but instead searches the data on disk directly. This lets you search for file properties such as name, creation and modification dates, file size, even plain text inside files.
Another useful feature is its hierarchical results view (see screenshots). It lets you view the found items within their respective folders, making it often much easier to browse through 100s of found items.
•• Note about text search ••
FAF can not search file content other than plain (unformatted and RTF) and zip-compressed text (as used by Word for instance) - and even that is comparatively slow, so dont expect this to be a good replacement for Spotlight when you need to find text in your documents.
For searching text in Mails, PDF and similar files, FAF wont be of use. Instead, Spotlight is still the best tool for those file (whose results can be enhanced with Tembo and HoudahSpot, also available in the App Store).
•• Heres what users say about FAF ••
“FAF goes where Spotlights cant easily reach.”
“As the administrator for about 50 school Macs, I often need to look for some file misplaced by a novice or, while troubleshooting a system, I often need to search for obscure operating system files. Find Any File is in my arsenal of tools when things files or folders go astray.”
“I use it when I want to find a specific kind of file or to see and eliminate or compare the double and redundant files. I surely use it 4-5 times a week.”
“I keep FAF as an icon in the toolbar of every Finder window. When I have to actually find something, I use FAF instead of the Finder.”

Trés bon complément à Spotlight
très lent en réseau
Devient quasi inutilisable en présence de volumes réseau (même si la recherche nest demandée que sur un volume local) : il faut attendre 4 à 5 secondes pour voir apparaître chaque caractère que lon saisit... Toute linterface semble atteinte.
Pas convaincu du tout
Non, pas convaincu de lintérêt de ce soft. Je lavais acheté pour un problème de fichier sur un réseau mais il na pas donné de meilleurs résultats que le Finder. Je nai pas trouvé auncun intérêt particulier à ce logiciel et pense le virer si je ne lui trouve aucune fonction dici quelques semaines... Si quelquun a trouvé un intérêt à ce soft, je suis curieux de savoir lequel...
Fait ce quil dit
1) permet de trouver des fichiers que spotlight (pour quelle raison?) laisse passer : essayez par exemple de désinstaller MacKeeper. Il restera toujours deux services qui tournent. Cette app ma permis de trouver les .plist incriminés alors que spotlight non. 2) disque réseau : certes, moins rapide quune recherche dans un terminal directement sur un NAS, mais à lheure actuelle, sans quitter son mac, je ne vois pas dalternative. Donc, oui, utile :)
Great app: simple and powerful!
Great app: simple and powerful! • Provides a nice complement to the default Finder search • Is fast • Queries based on multiple conditions • Features QuickView • Asks for a password protection for extended search • Finds hidden files • Digs into .app packages
Excellent
J’ai beaucoup aimé cette application au point que je me suis décidé à la payer sur l’Apple Store. Plus rapide et précise que Spotlight. J’ai fait un test elle a trouvé beaucoup plus d’éléments que Spotlight .
SUPER EFFICACE et en Français
Application vraiment très pratique, bien conçue, à la réflexion je mapperçois que je men sers toute la journée, sans même penser à utiliser toutes les autres app similaires, cette application sest imposée doffice quand (POUR ESSAI) jai cherché à éliminer des "plug-in" qui posaient des problèmes, (lignes en rouge dans le moniteur dactivité etc....). La recherche et lélimination de ces "plug-in"ont été résolus en 30 secondes; En plus cette application trouve tout dans les tous autres diques externes reliés au Mac Jai essayé (et même acheté) de nombreuses app similaire, celle-ci est la meilleure pour rechercher des fichier par date, nom ou taille, cachés ou non Spotilght est juste réservé pour la recherche de mots simples dans les fichiers courrants (mails, textes etc...)
