Jim Neumann, Customer Relations Specialist I emailed them about a bug several years ago and got an almost identical response, and it still hasn't been updated. I guess I'll go the $6 for FAF although I don't like its Spotlight-style GUI in the least. The new Great Equalizer is the SEND button.

Correction: That's 135 seconds for EF to complete the same search FAF completes in about 5 seconds. The new Great Equalizer is the SEND button.

OP artie505 Joined: Aug 2009 Likes: 15	Originally Posted By: Find Any File developer ...EasyFind by DEVONtechnologies...does not support fast search on APFS (Apple's new disk format on macOS High Sierra) like FAF does. That suggests that "fast search" is available on non-APFS volumes, and I'm curious whether EasyFind supports it, because its non-APFS version is sooo much slower than FF's APFS version. It might be illuminating if someone who's still non-APFS (I haven't got a volume on which to experiment.) ran EF and FAF side by side with a view towards determining if EF is even more behind the times than has been made readily evident by my APFS upgrade. I fully understand that being freeware, EF is Devon's orphan-child, but I'm wondering if they've been perpetuating an inferior product. The new Great Equalizer is the SEND button.
