Find 'non-findable' files
First you did not ask Spotlight to find invisible files...
Find 'non-findable' files
Right. So i added visibility - and here Spotlight really impresses. Set to "Visible' there are 6 results. Invisible: 1 result. Visible or invisible: the same item found with "invisible items". Hmm.
The FAF results are for the boot drive only, not the Time Machine drive or any other.
Ok, so there are really 7 results with Spotlight. FAF is no less awesome, right?
Find 'non-findable' files
So the files FAF finds and Spotlight don't, are probably from packages like .app or .pkg.
Find 'non-findable' files
I checked this. 14 were in packages, 6 were invisible (but theoretically Spotlight should have found these). There were 17 remaining files plus the 6 invisible ones - either 10 or 16 more than Spotlight found.
Of course I'll still need spotlight, and I'll even use EasyFind when looking for a file in a subfolder.
But it is great to have an FAF.
A good example: I needed to locate GoogleSoftwareUpdater somewhere on my hard drive. Where did they hide that little stinker that I couldn't delete when I removed Google Notifier? Aha! FAF found it in a few seconds. Bravo!
