Locate Files in Specific Directories, Fast and Easy!

NameFind is a GUI for the Unix "find" command-line tool, installed by default on Mac OS X. It provides fast, simple searches for files by name in a specific directory. Enter a search term, specify your search directory, and run the search query: NameFind will present a list of all files that match the search name.

Why NameFind?

NameFind compared to Spotlight and related tools:

Simple to use: Type your search term, choose your search directory, and go.
Fast: NameFind doesn't bog down system resources.
Better targets specific directories than the Mac's built-in Spotlight technology.
QuickLook and Growl integration.
View and open and files found in the search.
Thorough, searchable user documentation via the "Help" menu.
"NameFind works fine. For example, it found both 'easel.jpg' and 'modbookeasel.jpg' with the entry of 'easel.jpg' in the search field, which is very commendable."--Charles Moore, Applelinks
