When looking for files on our computer, the option that most users use is Spotlight, the search engine built into macOS. However, it is not always up to date with all files, so sometimes it is likely that we will not find the file (s) that we need to find, be it documents, images, videos, music ...
If we regularly search our equipment and do not always find what we are looking for, it is probably time to opt for an alternative to Spotlight called iScherlokk, a powerful file search and comparison tool that you should give a try.
iScherlokk is an extremely fast search engine that finds any file stored on our computer. Unlike Spotlight, this application performs searches in real time on our hard drive, and is not based on a file index. While it is true that basing searches on a file index is much faster, when we do not find a file, we do not care exactly how the search system works, what we want is to find it.
The application shows us the search results in list form which allows us to find out which file we need since it also shows us the path of the file. In addition, it allows us to establish search criteria, regardless of whether it is documents, music files, images, videos ...
Allows us search any unit that we connect to our team be it an external hard drive, USB drive, network drive (AFP, SMB, FTP), Thunderbolt device… It doesn't matter if the file is hidden or from the system, it doesn't have to be indexed in Spotlight, iScherlokk will look for it and find it for us.
iScherlokk has a usual price of 16,99 euros, but for tLimited time we can get it for only 10,99 euros on the Mac App Store. In order to use this application, our equipment must be managed by OS X 10.11 or higher and a 64-bit processor.
