New: BlitzSearch

The BlitzSearch feature has been rewritten from scratch! It now presents a much more powerful and flexible interface.

You may chose to search in file names, text contents and/or Spotlight comments.

You may now specify a template to use for your BlitzSearch query. E.g you may have a template set up to search only specific locations.

New: AppleScript support

You may initiate BlitzSearch queries using AppleScript.

Moreover AppleScript may access the search results as well as the current selection.

New: File filter

The filter predicate is now persisted with documents and templates. Re-open HoudahSpot documents to fin them exactly as they were when saved.

New: PathFinder integration

HoudahSpot 2.2 adds a "Reveal in PathFinder" feature.

New: Date formats

HoudahSpot now shows date and time for file modifications.

Date formats are listed in the HoudahSpot preferences file. Advanced users may want to edit that file. Available formats are shortDate, shortDateTime, longDate and longDateTime.

New: Font size

It is now possible to adjust the font size of the results list.

Enhancement: Inspector

The Inspector now lists a file's path. You may copy it from there and paste it into other applications.

Bug fix: BlitzSearch

Formerly BlitzSearch on occasion opened a second blank window. This is fixed.

Caveat: Updated AppleScript dictionary

HoudahSpot 2.2 comes with an updated AppleScript dictionary. This unfortunately breaks existing scripts.

Please review your scripts for compatibility. Sorry for the inconvenience.
