Find Any File 2.3.2 – Advanced Search Tools On Mac

Find Any File searches your local and network disks for files by name, creation or modification date, size or kind. As there are other tools with a similar search operation, here are the special features unique to Find Any File: Has a new hierarchical view of the found items, making it much easier to browse 100s of items (see the screenshot).
Can run as root user, finding really any file on your disk, even those that are hidden from normal users. Can save queries and run them again later…

Find Any File Macbook App Features

• FAF can find files that Spotlight doesn’t, e.g. on network (NAS) and other external volumes, hidden ones inside bundles and packages, and those in folders that are usually excluded from Spotlight search, such as the System and Library folders. It can even search in other user’s folders if you use FAF’s unique root search mode.
• FAF lets you search precisely for many file properties such as name, extension, date range, size, kind etc.
• FAF cannot find text in PDF, Word, Excel and similar document files (unless Spotlight has indexed them, which isn’t necessarily the case on external and network disks).
• FAF cannot find metadata stored in files, such as image sizes, EXIF data and GPS coordinates (check out the alternatives below for that).
