See how DFind helps you find the files you want. Get more accurate results & search for documents faster.

Discover files not matter where they are. System, hidden or even partial files included. Specify a location and DFind will show them.

Yes, you can use REGEX for both file names and text content.
No matter what tools you use, a lost file may not always turn up in search results for name, keywords, even filetype. Searching for a lost Pages document was impossible using other methods, but DFind uncovered the bizarre .zip file and related pages document that no other search could uncover. Using the time it was last saved and the file size, I was able to narrow the file results very quickly. It’s important to note that DFind turned up files otherwise hidden from OS X, even after revealing all hidden files using a Terminal instruction. This was a truly lost/deleted document.
