ProFind
macOS / Utilitaires
ProFind provides fast and powerful searches of any disks, beneath an elegant and extremely powerful interface.
With support for innovative natural language queries, application launching, saved searches, history, scripting and more, it's the only search app you'll ever need.
Feature List:
Natural language search queries with autocompletion for commands, keywords and application names.
Boolean logic: combine words and commands with and / or / not and parentheses for grouping.
Live Directory: browse the file system straight from the search field, with live updating as files change.
Spotlight not required (except for Spotlight metadata searches).
Optional disk caching indexes file names, sizes and dates for even faster searches, especially on network disks, and lets you search disks even when they are disconnected.
Searches any disk type: Mac, Windows, servers, network volumes and more.
Searches inside invisible folders and packages.
Search locations: home, Mac disks, local disks, servers, individual disks, or open Finder folders.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Version 1.39 9-July-2026
Added Open With... to the right-click contextual menu.
Clicking the inspector icon in the toolbar reveals a preview and file information. Let me know what you think the inspector should show. macOS 14 or later.
Sorting by the size column will now calculate the size of all folders shown in the results.
Add \": locked\" or \": not locked\" to a query to filter locked or unlocked items.
Passing a full path to the inside command will restrict results to only that location. For example: : inside /Volumes/DiskName/
Fixed a bug in group searches.
