ProFind Free Download Latest Version for macOS. It is a full offline installer and standalone setup for macOS.
ProFind Overview
ProFind is a powerful file-search utility for macOS developed by Ross Tulloch. It is designed as an advanced alternative to standard Spotlight and Finder search, allowing users to locate files and folders using natural-language queries, Boolean operators, metadata filters, regular expressions, wildcards, and other search criteria. It can search local disks, external drives, network volumes, servers, and other mounted storage.
One of ProFind’s key advantages is its ability to search beyond simple filenames. Users can search by file size, creation or modification date, extension, tags, parent folder, file type, and Spotlight metadata. It can also search inside supported documents such as PDF, Word, RTF, and InDesign files, with optional OCR for scanned and image-based documents.
ProFind also includes its own optional disk cache, which can make repeated searches considerably faster and allows cached disks to remain searchable even when they are disconnected. Additional features include saved searches, search history, scripting, Quick Look previews, CSV/text export, file hashes, a configurable global hotkey, and a menu bar icon.
