This is just a fork that adds the following to Cardinal (The best Everything alternative for macOS):

  • Filters bar at the top
  • Filter commands help modal with clickable examples
  • Better default ignore list
  • Ability to use glob ignore patterns to skip all temp and cache folders (not possible with original)

Why cardinal is the best everything alternative:

  • Raycast/Spotlight don't find files in certain locations.
  • Houdahspot is close but the search isn't instant.
  • There's a few others but they're either laggy or have bad UX.

Use the original if you don't care for these features. I'll delete my fork when these are merged but main dev has been busy.

Search basics

Cardinal X now speaks an Everything-compatible syntax layer on top of the classic substring/prefix tricks:

  • report draft – space acts as AND, so you only see files whose names contain both tokens.
  • *.pdf briefing – filter to PDF results whose names include “briefing”.
  • *.zip size:>100MB – search for ZIP files larger than 100MB.
  • in:/Users demo !.psd – restrict the search root to /Users, then search for files whose names contain demo but exclude .psd.
  • tag:ProjectA;ProjectB – match Finder tags (macOS); ; acts as OR.
  • *.md content:"Bearer " – filter to Markdown files containing the string Bearer .
  • "Application Support" – quote exact phrases.
  • brary/Applicat – use / as a path separator for sub-path searching, matching directories like Library/Application Support.
  • /report · draft/ · /report/ – wrap tokens with leading and/or trailing slashes to force prefix, suffix, or exact name matches when you need whole-word control beyond Everything syntax.
  • ~/**/.DS_Store – globstar (**) dives through every subfolder under your home directory to find stray .DS_Store files anywhere in the tree.

For the supported operator catalog—including boolean grouping, folder scoping, extension filters, regex usage, and more examples—see doc/pub/search-syntax.md.

This is just a fork that adds the following to Cardinal (The best Everything alternative for macOS):
  • Filters bar at the top
  • Filter commands help modal with clickable examples
  • Better default ignore list
  • Ability to use glob ignore patterns to skip all temp and cache folders (not possible with original)
Why cardinal is the best everything alternative:
  • Raycast/Spotlight don't find files in certain locations.
  • Houdahspot is close but the search isn't instant.
  • There's a few others but they're either laggy or have bad UX.
Use the original if you don't care for these features. I'll delete my fork when these are merged but main dev has been busy.
Installing Cardinal X

Search basics
Cardinal X now speaks an Everything-compatible syntax layer on top of the classic substring/prefix tricks:
  • report draft – space acts as AND, so you only see files whose names contain both tokens.
  • *.pdf briefing – filter to PDF results whose names include “briefing”.
  • *.zip size:>100MB – search for ZIP files larger than 100MB.
  • in:/Users demo !.psd – restrict the search root to /Users, then search for files whose names contain demo but exclude .psd.
  • tag:ProjectA;ProjectB – match Finder tags (macOS); ; acts as OR.
  • *.md content:"Bearer " – filter to Markdown files containing the string Bearer .
  • "Application Support" – quote exact phrases.
  • brary/Applicat – use / as a path separator for sub-path searching, matching directories like Library/Application Support.
  • /report · draft/ · /report/ – wrap tokens with leading and/or trailing slashes to force prefix, suffix, or exact name matches when you need whole-word control beyond Everything syntax.
  • ~/**/.DS_Store – globstar (**) dives through every subfolder under your home directory to find stray .DS_Store files anywhere in the tree.
For the supported operator catalog—including boolean grouping, folder scoping, extension filters, regex usage, and more examples—see doc/pub/search-syntax.md.
