Find Any File is indispensable
I use Find Any File almost daily. I really love the ability to save an applet that automatically runs when you start it. I use that to search for items changed “within the last 2 minutes” to look for locations of automatic downloads or behind-the-scenes changes to my system. Gives me immediate and accurate results. MUCH better than Spotlight, since Find Any File does not limit the search to “user accessible” folders.
