Without doubt this is the "best" little finder programme. Never had any problem with it ever. Can't say more than that. And its free. 8 - )

A must have utility. I use it to clean system folders and to look for items in unindexed external drives.

MacUpdate's description is not updated when it currently says that version 5 dates from "18 July 2014". What downloads is version 5 dated 3 March 2020. This should be corrected so not to scare away people who (like me) will not download apps that haven't been updated for several years. Read more here: https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/freeware

I've used easyfind for years... It's maybe a bit slow, but it's the easiest app that finds everything. No spot on your hard drive remains unsearched. System folders, libraries, invisibles, content... Finds it if it exists. No worries, no doubts. It's free, but if they charged for it, I'd pay whatever they asked.

Downloaded after a few days trying to fix the "find" function in my finder, and giving up in despair. Seems to work perfectly.

Absolutely brilliant search tool. Top marks to DEVONthink.

Finally a perfect searching tool for MacOS. Works like a charm and saved me hours of manually searching through my external drives.

What Spotlight and the Finder can't find: EasyFind does. This is an indispensable program.

Good Program! Do what say do!

Outstanding search tool. It is excellent and super easy to use to search your entire hard drive. I use it often when deleting any application to find the often many support files that are NOT deleted by simply trashing the app. Many of these app support files are not even deleted when you use the developer's delete utility.

A favorite of mine. Although, the searches are pretty slow now in High Sierra. May be time for a little update.

Great application, became veeeeery slow on High Sierra.

Simple..... its 'easy' and super good!

Helped me out of so many problems. Fantastic!

Best finder. I cannot tell you the number of problems I solved with this app,

Best of its kind!

Use it for years, the best of its kind. And works great on Sierra.

I really like this program, but unlike FileLocator Pro for Windows, it doesn't do RegEx searches within files that I can find. Wildcards, sure, but not real REgEx.

FileLocator Pro on Windows is the only program that for the mac there simply isn't anything like it, functionally speaking.

I can't find a single search program that can search binary files, give me context of every found instance (in another pane) and not "rely" on the Spotlight index as so many of the mac search tools do.

EasyFind comes very close and it's free. I would gladly PAY MORE for just a bit more functionality here.

(Note that FileLocator Pro also has a very capable free product called "Agent Ransack". Nothing like this on the Mac, either)

After scouring the internet and running dozens of searches for software that can check contents of elm files on a mac. This is IT. All others I've downloaded and paid good money for are no better than the native spotlight. This is better than Spotlight.

Just wanted to note that EasyFind 4.9.3 works as expected on El Capitan. Woohoo!

Does not search text in Pages or PDF documents

poor icon

This morning, I had to do some serious backup and discovered that I had a ton of duplicate files, scattered across numerous external drives, that I need to find and weed out. While Spotlight is busy indexing all of these drives (and giving me nothing until it's done), EasyFind is busy finding.

Simply perfect.

non ne esiste una migliore, complimenti

Great utility!

I use this since the first version and always find this small program extremely helpful. As already written here it is a fast small, stable and exact finder application. And it is running with nearly every MacOS ever developed. Big thanks to the developer and big thanks too that it is stiull a free application.

I use this program often...after I use AppCleaner to delete a program I then use EasyFInd to locate any residual files associated with the deleted application.

Excellent application that does what does not do spotlight.

One of my favorite OSX utilities. "Find" in the classic Mac sense. Accept no substitute!

The best file find tool for the Mac! Wish the "Find"-er still worked the way EasyFind still does. If I had one request for this little gem; is there anyway to make cmd-F start FasyFind rather then the very lame Finder's built in "Find" dialog. Anyone know how to other then using an app like Apptivate (boy do I miss ResEdit)?

This is a great app! I just wish it remembered its full screen status across restarts.

Interface could use some cleaning but it works like a charm, even on remote servers.

Does what the finder and Spotlight can't do, it finds anything, simple easy to use, I take this every where with me on my portable HD, Love it, I'd happily pay to buy this, spotlight sucks, EasyFind finds stuff!

EasyFind is just an awesome app that finds everything on my Late 2013 iMac and external drives including the things that Finder cannot find and it has saved me a lot of time not only in file management, but in deleting those allusive files left behind when uninstalling other apps that AppCleaner misses.

Very functional but ugly. looks like PC application

This app is amazing. I use it at work over a network on huges disks with tons of files (where Spotlight fails to index those drives properly) and it finds my queries in no time. I also tried Find Any File but it has less options. It could use a better icon though.

This is not a review because I've only tried EasyFind once, to look for files related to a deleted app. It found six files/folders, which I deleted. Then I tried FindAnyFile - that found no less than forty further files!

Easily my favorite utility for years-and think of it, I never have to fool with that Spotlight and it's quirks. This app simply finds anything, everywhere on your computer. Speedily, no fooling around, and it's free. Bless DevonTech's heart.

One of my favorite little applications, been using it for years without any problems. I prefer EasyFind over Spotlight for finding hidden files when deleting applications. We also use it to find specific photos in our huge database. Highly recommended.

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Now that Mavericks' Spotlight is using metadata tagging,which I hate so much,I am now using EasyFind instead. I like the way it finds my mp3 files in the proper way,how I have listed them,by artist followed by song,which Spotlight is now incapable of doing.

Not slow in Mavericks.
