[WelMac] EasyFind

[John Crook]

I just found a neat little application for file finding if you're using 
Tiger (OS X 10.4).

One of the factors that had stopped me from migrating my main work 
machine to Tiger was that I don't like the way Spotlight works in 
Tiger.  Spotlight is great if you want to find abstruse stuff buried 
inside the contents of a file, but even then it doesn't search all the 
directories.

Since I mainly use "Find" to locate files which I have misplaced, or 
forgotten where I put them, I much preferred the version of the Find 
command in the earlier versions of OS X.

However, thanks to MacWorld (USA) I have now discovered EasyFind 
(version 3.8.1.  This is free and it works well under OS X 10.4.5 to do 
exactly what I want it to do: to find files wherever they might be on 
my hard drive.  I probably won't use them much but there are lots of 
features e.g. wild card expressions, AND/OR searches etc.  I like it.

The app can be found at www.devon-technologies.com.  (Click on the 
"products" tab and you'll find it under "Freeware Applications")

Maybe others will find this useful too.
