FoxTrot Personal Search

Focused, precise way to find data in files.

FoxTrot Personal SearchOverview

FoxTrot Personal Search delivers the fastest, most focused and precise way to find data in the files. Based on the revolutionary FoxTrot search engine -- used in more than 40 countries by users of CTM's PowerMail -- FoxTrot Personal Search brings high performance document retrieval and indexing to your most important files.

NEW

Enhanced search features

  • Search string word completion: when typing words in the search field, partial words are autocompleted. Suggestions are based on the content of your index.
  • Typo corrections: when searching for a misspelled word, a similar word is suggested.
  • Added "log file", "XML file" and "file archive" types in the "file types" category.

Enhanced indexing

  • By default, the content of log files and generic XML files is no longer indexed. This usually enhances the quality and the performance of the index, as these files contain many non relevant data. This can be toggled when adding a custom folder to the list of indexed locations.
  • Added the ability to disable some file types for content indexing, when indexing predefined locations, such as Documents or Downloads.
  • Outlook 2015, Dropbox and iCloud Drive support
  • Added a "view resource hogs" button in the index configuration window; this can help removing from your index huge files that contain few interesting text but many encoded, garbled or numerical data.
  • Email messages stored or exported to the .mbox format with a ‘TEXT’ HFS file type are no longer indexed by contents (this would index a bunch of encoded data).
  • Contact’s phone numbers are also indexed unformatted (with no space).
  • When a third party Spotlight metadata importer has a memory leak, it is now periodically relaunched to prevent using all the available memory.

Bug fixes

  • Some files could be displayed using their "title" metadata attribute instead of the filename; some items (email messages...) could be displayed using their (cryptic) filename instead of the title.
  • "Update folder in running indices" was updating all files by content, regardless of the index settings.
  • When adding a file to the blacklist, or when disabling some file types in the "index contents of files" list, the previously indexed contents of those files was only removed from the index when rebuilding entirely.
  • When displaying found words in some PDF documents, the document could be scrolled horizontally excessively.
  • Fixed a case where FoxTrot could fail to update the index, after FoxTrot’s preferences have been erased.
  • Fixed a bug in FoxTrot’s system menu on OS X 10.8.
  • A "can’t connect" error message could happen in some circumstances, and has been fixed.
  • FoxTrot’s system menu could appear twice after rebooting.
  • A quick test shown no issue on OS X 10.11 El Capitan.
  • FoxTrot could be slow to launch when Finder tags are used intensively.
  • The diagnostic tool to send a report to the developer has been improved.
