ProFind provides fast and complete searches of any disk, beneath an elegant and extremely powerful interface. Download ProFind for Mac ↓ Most file search apps search either the macOS's metadata database or the disk directly. Profound definition is - having intellectual depth and insight. How to use profound in a sentence.
Most file search apps search either the macOS's metadata database or the disk directly. This means they can often provide search results that are incomplete, contain unwanted items or they perform unnecessarily slowly. Not with ProFind, which searches metadata and the disk.
And with support for innovative natural language queries, application launching, spatial disk browsing, hidden location searches, Finder integration, search saving, history, scripting and more, it's the only search app you'll ever need.
The free companion iOS app allows you to search for files on your Mac and download and share them with other iOS apps. Access the ProFile sidebar, browse favourite folders, get info and preview files.
Searches and downloads are performed over an encrypted network connection. Requires ProFind for Mac. Intended for local networks only. Supports iPhone and iPad.

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release. The WebDAVPROPFIND Method retrieves properties for a resource identified by the request Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The PROPFIND Method can be used on collection and property resources.
When a PROPFIND Method or a BPROPFIND Method request contains a Brief Header with a value of 't', every propstat XML Element with a status of 404 (Not Found) is omitted from the 207 (Multi-Status) response.
Clients may submit a Depth Header with a value of '0', '1', '1,noroot' or 'infinity'. A PROPFIND Method without a Depth Header acts as if a Depth Header value of 'infinity' was included.
Note A PROPFIND with depth value of 'infinity' is not supported in the public store that is accessible to MAPI clients such as Microsoft Outlook.
The PROPFIND Method may be included in the scope of a transaction by submitting a Transaction Header with a lock token that corresponds to that transaction.
Note See Authentication and Security Using WebDAV for more information.
The list of WebDAV Protocol Status Codes in the following table is not comprehensive. For information about 500-level status codes, see WebDAV Status Codes: 500s.
