About FoxTrot Search
FoxTrot Search is a professional macOS indexing and document retrieval app built for users who need faster, more precise search than Spotlight alone. It indexes large archives across PDF, Office files, email, and many additional formats, then surfaces relevance-ranked results with in-app preview and highlighting. If you work with deep file libraries and need to find exact passages quickly, FoxTrot Search gives you stronger control over search precision and scale.

Customer Reviews
Program to have for research
WoW...... this is the program to have. I am doing research - some 15 Gigs of data and I can NOT believe how great this program is.
Must-have search tool
Apple's Spotlight is to FTP what TextEdit is to an advanced word processor. I've been using FTP for several years now: it's search capabilities are unmatched and I've never had a problem with their support; once they responded only after a couple of weeks but to tell me that my problem was solved, that it would be integrated in the forthcoming update and gave me a link to its beta version. For me, FTP is a must have.
Fast search at very large scale
Works perfectly, I can search through nearly 1TB of files (almost 200,000 of them) in a matter of seconds. I've never found anything else to compare with it, not DEVONthink or Yojimbo or Evernote or Leap or Yep any other program. It searches through my files perfectly, it ranks the results, it previews the files. It does what I want perfectly.
