ProFind overview

ProFind is advanced file search app for macOS.

With powerful features and great performance, ProFind delivers advanced file search for macOS. And with support for natural language queries, application launching, hidden location searches, scripting and more.

Search inside invisible folders and packages. Searches any disk type.

Uses kernel based searching (searchfs) when available. Uses metadata indexes (as used by Spotlight) when available to improve performance. Autocompletion for application names. Large icon view for one or two search results.

Under its elegant user interface, ProFind combines the power of macOS's different search capabilities to make sure it finds all the files your looking for. And it's been carefully tuned for performance and responsiveness.

What’s new in version 1.25

You can now use "OR" when searching for words. For example: "cat OR dog" will return results including either word. "OR" must be uppercase.
Added 'Maximum Folder Depth' command to limit searches to a particular maximum search depth. Type: 'max depth 4'
Items which have been found in a cache but no-longer exists on disk are shown with a line through there file names.
Better support for searching cloud storage.
Minor UI changes.

For me the best search engine with super fast live search. Many options.

Post Script:

I just did a search (Obviously not with ProFind) and I discovered I had actually purchased this app from the App Store. However when I went to re-download it I was informed ProFind is Not available in my country!!!

Yet I had paid for it...

So I clicked "Report a problem" to get a refund and Apple told me I do not "Qualify for a refund" Period.

No right of appeal, no possibility of review...

What is going on with this...???!!!

Overly aggressive and punitive trial behaviour.

I installed this app some time ago but never got to use it.

It was updated today so I was reminded to look at it again. For some reason I had to re-download it again.

But when I launched it, it told me my trial had ended... Even though I haven't used it...

But then it began a three minute countdown telling me I could use it when it had finished its countdown... So I waited... The countdown finished and I clicked on a few windows one being the Preference Window and it came up Blank. No preferences were visible. Just a brown square.

Then it started another 3 minute countdown... I thought that was a bit harsh.... But then it quit when it got to 90 odd seconds.

It apparently crashed... So I launched it again and there was another 3 minutes on the clock... I’m now headed to 9 minutes in the penalty box...

You can imagine what happened next... Perhaps I’ll remember next time why I deleted it...!

Looks nice and makes use of the spotlight index. My main complaint is that the search results can not be diplayed in a tree view.
