PDF Search looks pretty darn good, actually - and there’s a free trial. Oh dear. To CRIMP or not to CRIMP, that’s the question… on the other hand, a free trial…

I’ve heard there is a new version of Houdah Spot for macOS (v5) coming that has a lot of new integrations—including with DefaultFolder X—which also has a new version in the works. The new Houdah Spot will display DEVONthink database results.
More to CRIMP!

I wonder what it offers over the less expensive DEVONsphere Express and/or HoudahSpot.

Has anyone used foxtrot attaché search? I’ve been moving all my data into finder and really like foxtrot pro. There are no reviews so I’m looking for some advice.

The ios app of FT displays only the plain text format of the pdf files. That is just useless to me because I need to see the whole thing: many of my documents contain graphs, and syntax trees. Searching and displaying just plain text is just useless to me.
But, FT doesn’t affect your original files. You can use it with Devonthink or Bookends because these two apps have better ios companions.
