HoudahSpot - Spotlight Unleashed

HoudahSpot unleashes the power of Spotlight. It makes good on the promise of quickly finding the files you search for.

• Create detailed queries to pinpoint the exact file you want to get to
• Narrow down searches. Step by step, zero in on files
• Save active queries as documents for direct access to your favorite files
• Set up templates for frequently performed searches
• Tag files for easy retrieval
• Do some housekeeping: Have HoudahSpot find music files not yet in your Music folder. Drag them to where they belong

HoudahSpot is EXACTLY what Spotlight should have been in Mac OS X

HoudahSpot - File Tagging Solution

HoudahSpot helps you manage your files by assigning tags to them. Tags are non-hierarchical keywords assigned to files, and the organizational purpose of tags is similar to that of folders. However, a crucial difference is that a file may be assigned several tags and be located by any of them, no matter where they are.

HoudahSpot makes managing your files easy:

• Business meeting with Bob: Drop the meeting notes on the "Work" and "Bob" tags in the HoudahSpot Tray
• Bob came to your party: Drop the invite on the "Leisure" and "Bob" tags in the HoudahSpot Tray
• So did Mary: Drop the invite on the "Leisure" and "Mary" tags in the HoudahSpot Tray
• All about Bob: Double-click the "Bob" tag in the HoudahSpot Tray

users don't know they're missing!
