history
Project history and usage
EasyFind is a free macOS file-search application from DEVONtechnologies. It searches names, contents, tags, and comments without requiring an index.
Project history
DEVONtechnologies developed EasyFind as a specialized macOS file-search utility. Its search operators share conventions with the company's DEVONthink and DEVONagent products.
Adoption history
EasyFind is distributed by DEVONtechnologies as freeware and is also available through the Homebrew Cask package `easyfind`.
How it is used
Search directly across files and folders using Boolean operators, wildcards, quoted phrases, or regular expressions; inspect previews and act on matching files from the results.
Why package nerds care
EasyFind is valued by Mac power users as a lightweight, non-indexed alternative to Spotlight, especially when searches require Boolean expressions, wildcards, phrases, regular expressions, tags, comments, or file-content matching.
