This is fabulous. I’ve tried to find out about this, and it’s seemed dodgy based on what I could find. Todd Ogasawara wrote a clear how-to, Read AND Write NTFS Hard Drives Partitions on a Mac for Free in the Mac section of the O’Reilly Digital Media Blog. This is important for Mac users in mixed environments with PCs. I hope to test it out soon.
Macintouch this morning points to Thomas Tempelmann’s Find Any File application—
Contrary to Spotlight, it does not use a database but instead uses the file system driver’s fast search operations.This lets you search for file properties such as name, dates, size, etc., but not for file content (use Spotlight for that)!
Find Any File can find files that Spotlight doesn’t, e.g. those inside bundles and packages and in inside folders that are excluded from Spotlight search (i.e. system files).
And Find Any File is fast. Not always as fast as Spotlight, but faster than other, similar file search tools you might find for the Mac.
I need something like this. Good to find it.
