Find files easier with EasyFind 2.8
DEVONtechnologies updates the free find-file utility EasyFind to version 2.8.
The update enables EasyFind to search for file contents in any file, not only plain text files, regardless of the file name extension or HFS type, comes with a new option to only search for folders and is able to sort by file type. The contextual menu now only contains enabled items and so complies to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. Version 2.8.1 fixes some rare crashes and features minor interface improvements.
EasyFind is an alternative to or supplement of Sherlock and finds files, folders or contents in any file without the need for indexing. Additionally, EasyFind features case sensitive or insensitive search, boolean operators, wildcards and searching for phrases. EasyFind uses multithreading and so is very responsive even with multiple search processes running, provides contextual menus and Mac OS X services and displays the location of each item in a separate column for a better overview. Finally EasyFind uses little memory, supports drag-and-drop and the clipboard and optionally finds invisible items or items within packages. Also, EasyFind is tightly integrated with the information manager DEVONthink.
EasyFind runs on Mac OS X 10.1 or higher and is available as a free download from www.devon-technologies.com.
