10.4: Phrase searching using Spotlight and Python
Authored by: BrentT on Apr 09, '07 08:36:04AM

The freeware app SpotInside (http://www.oneriver.jp/SpotInside/index.html) finds phrases within documents pretty quickly. It shows a preview of documents, including pdfs, that can be launched directly. It will also allow sorting of results by attributes. I find SpotInside more useful than Spotlight because I am usually just looking for a document with a certain phrase I remember, but I don't always know the file name.
