HoudahSpot: An intuitive and ultra fast file search utility

The Windows Explorer default search function can be slow and often unreliable when it comes to result accuracy. If you need a powerful alternative you should definitely try HoudahSpot.

HoudahSpot is a blazing fast file search tool that lets you find any type of file including photos, documents, videos, emails and so on. Besides the basic search you can refine the result by adding one or multiple criteria.

These include the option to search multiple folders at once, and exclude specific directories. Also, you can sort the results using whichever columns you want from the extensive selection included in the app.

Finally, in the functional interface the program lets you preview files, as well as text matches so you can quickly identify the items you were looking for.
