FoxTrot Professional
Search

FoxTrot Professional Search extends far beyond OS X's buit-in Spotlight, building on years of experience in search functionality refined within CTM's PowerMail and FoxTrot Personal Search products; it includes:

• Multiple categorizations of search results, relevance-ranked
• Document preview and full view, with secondary document-level search
• Multiple indexed collections and timed updates without the application launched
• Client-server access to peer-to-peer and dedicated CTM FoxTrot Search servers

FoxTrot Professional is relevant to anyone with documents saved for future reference; in field testing, the product has been especially well received in legal (law firm and courts), media (newsrooms researchers, ad agencies and editors) and mobile contexts (MacBook users with document collections).

Important notes:

• FoxTrot 6 is a paid upgrade for users of version 5 and earlier.
• Version 6.5 introduces an updated index format. Indices created by version 6.0.4, and used without rebuilding with version 6.5, should remain compatible if you revert to version 6.0.4. However if you rebuild your index with version 6.5, you will need to rebuild it again in version 6.0 if you revert / downgrade to version 6.0.4.

Client/Server bug fix (FoxTrot Pro multi-user and FoxTrot Search Server):

• Fixed a case where connecting to a FoxTrot server would ask the user to trust the server's certificate, even if the certificate is already trusted. This was only occurring on macOS 10.13, when connecting to the server by specifying its hostname, and if the server was not using a CA-issued certificate.
• More detailed error logging if connecting to a FoxTrot Server fails due to a certificate or TLS problem.
• Miscellaneous minor bug fixes and improvements
