SearchMyFiles is an alternative to the standard "Search For Files And Folders" module of Windows. It allows you to easily search files in your system by wildcard, by last modified/created/last accessed time, by file attributes, by file content (text or binary search), and by the file size. SearchMyFiles allows you to make a very accurate search that cannot be done with Windows search. You can search all files created in the last 10 minutes with size between 500 and 700 bytes. After you made a search, you can select one or more files, and save the list into a text/HTML/CSV/XML file, or copy the list to the clipboard.

Spotlight is the default search tool for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Quick access to content is key to an efficient workflow, and there are several ways you can make it easy for people to locate your app's content. Spotlight is a powerful search technology that makes it easy to locate files and content across the system. Using Spotlight, people can search for things using meaningful attributes like the intended audience for a document or the orientation of an image. Make your app’s content searchable. You can share content with Spotlight by making it indexable and specifying descriptive attributes—known as metadata. Spotlight extracts, stores, and organizes this information to allow for fast, comprehensive searches. For developer guidance, see Core Spotlight. Define metadata for your custom file types. Supply a Spotlight Importer plug-in that describes the types of metadata your file format contains.
