Does not use Spotlight, therefore working with any disk and network volume, searching every file and folder.
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Fastest on APFS
The fatest way to find all files (including those not indexed by Spotlight) on APFS volumes, as it's the only tool to use the faster searchfs() (Catalog Search) OS function.
Pro Can search on network file servers
For instance, Spotlight is not good at searching on NAS drives, but FAF is.
Pro Can find any file, even protected and hidden files
To find any file, even those of other users, use the "Find All" search mode, which works with "root user" permissions.
Pro Faster than EasyFind
Especially on network volume searches.
Cons
Con Too many boxes to type into
It's a lot of clicking to create your search. It should have a way of just typing what you are looking for in one box.
