Jul 2, 2018 - Searching on your Mac can be a little bit of a pain. Here are some search techniques for you to improve file search on macOS.
The simplest way (which I'm sure you've already tried, but hey, let me add it to the thread anyway) is to enter abc.dmg into the search box on the top right of any finder window, then select 'File Name' from the options on the Search Bar that appears. No need for the terminal. Also remember that Spotlight only indexes directories specified in the Spotlight control panel and abc.dmg may not be in one of those directories. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the find command needs to know what to output: find / -name abc.dmg -print.should print any results to the terminal (including permission errors). If you don't want permission errors and want to search other User directories then: sudo find / -name abc.dmg -print.

Can someone please point me to a great desktop search product on the Mac? It does not matter how much it costs, as long as it matches the capabilities of the X1 Professional Client that is available on Windows. The lack of a great desktop search engine for files and outlook email on the Mac is the only reason why I still use Windows 7 under Parallels. I have all the file system on the OS X side, but I still use the X1 Desktop search to index the content of the files and the Outlook PST files. I already have Outlook and Office 2011 on the Mac, but without a great desktop search, that is pretty useless. I would love to get rid of Windows because of battery life, but without a great desktop search engine on OSX I still need to stick to Windows just for the X1 search.
Spotlight is no comparison at all to the the features of X1 Professional Client under Windows. It is simply not powerful enough. X1 allows an interactive drill down of results.
Say I know there was an email from Jack to me in 2009 that had a PowerPoint slide with the words 'networking, proof of concept, cluster, redundancy' in the presentation test. Every piece of data entered reduces the number of possible documents that have such a PPT attachment.
X1 also allows to use boolean search. With X1 it takes seconds to locate this email. Spotlight does not allow such interactive data mining. I find it a bit crazy having to use a desktop search under Windows in a virtual machine to efficiently locate documents on the Mac. Hope somebody can point me to a great solution on the Mac.

Then you have absolutely no idea what spotlight is and how to use it. The things you're describing are exactly the things that spotlight does.
