However, this app can be counterintuitive to basic searches, for which filters are seldom needed. HoudahSpot for Mac proves to be a potent search tool that allows you to filter many search results fairly quickly. Search parameters can be contradictory: If you're not paying attention to all the search parameters you choose, you might end up with conflicting filters. To pretty much echo my review of the first version of Tembo the product still trails the developers other more powerful search. There are too many options that can easily confuse a beginner. Not for beginners: As an advanced search tool, it might not appeal to beginners. Not for simple searches: Simple searches can be done more easily with Spotlight.
