|
||||
|
||||
== Introduction
|
||||
`mdfind` is a command-line interface to the SpotLight search tool on every
|
||||
Apple macOS system. Being a CLI tool, it saves time when searching for stuff in
|
||||
your Mac. Unfortunately, there is a lot of documentation on the topic which is
|
||||
out of date - the examples either do not work or give an error. Otherwise, the
|
||||
tool is not well-documented. Below are few examples for every day usage, tested
|
||||
on the newest versions - Catalina, Big Sur, Monterrey, Ventura.
|
||||
|
||||
== Find files with a given word in it
|
||||
Just give the `mdfind` a word to search for, and it will find it in
|
||||
file/media/applications
|
||||
names, as well as in their contents.
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
mdfind mysearchword
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
== Search for a word in file names only, not their contents
|
||||
Add `-name` qualifier before the search word.
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
mdfind -name October
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
Will find files named: _OctoberFest.pdf_, _inoctober.txt_, _Red October.mp4_
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Find a file with multiple keywords in its name
|
||||
We can specify more than 1 word to look for in the file/app name - the `mdfind`
|
||||
uses logical AND by default for multiple keywords.
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
mdfind -name red october
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
Will find: _Red October.mp4_, _red octoberfest.jpg_, but NOT _red.pdf_ or
|
||||
_October.mp4_.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Limit search to specific file format(s)
|
||||
You can use ``kind:``__file-format__ to additionally limit results to this file
|
||||
format. Be aware that _kind_ is not always the file extension though. I list the
|
||||
most popular file formats below.
|
||||
|
||||
Find file with the _red_ in its name, but only in _mp4_, _.mov_ etc. files:
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
mdfind -name red kind:movie
|
||||
----
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The other way to look for file extensions is with the _kMDItemFSName_ metadata
|
||||
value and listing the desired extension after the asterisk.
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
mdfind "kMDItemFSName == '*.pdf'"
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
But if you want to look for a specific file name as well, you will have to pipe the
|
||||
command above to _grep_ or alike.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Look up folder names
|
||||
Using (see table above) `kind:folder` we can search in folder names only.
|
||||
|
||||
Find all folders with the name _document_ in them:
|
||||
|
||||
`mdfind -name documents kind:folder`
|
||||
|
||||
== Search for an exact match
|
||||
We can do it in 2 ways.
|
||||
First, wrapping search terms in double and then single quotes:
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
mdfind -name '"red carpet"'
|
||||
----
|
||||
This will match _red carpet.txt_, but not _red 2 carpet.txt_.
|
||||
|
||||
The other way to look for an exact match is with the `-literal` qualifier, which prohibits any other qualifier though.
|
||||
|
||||
Find everything having _Hat, Red_ in the name:
|
||||
|
||||
`mdfind -literal "kMDItemDisplayName == 'Hat, Red'"`
|
||||
|
||||
Here, *kMDItemDisplayName* is a metadata field holding the item name for files/folders/etc. Any additional options will be ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Search in specific folder(s) only
|
||||
We can use *-onlyin* option to limit the search:
|
||||
|
||||
`mdfind -name red.txt -onlyin ~/Documents`
|
||||
|
||||
This will only search in the folder _Documents_ and its subfoldes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Search by created, modified dates
|
||||
IMPORTANT: The date format is your current locale. So, I put dates in the
|
||||
_19/1/2023_ format, but if your Mac is set to use _1/19/2023_, do so.
|
||||
|
||||
Find file named _red_ and created on 19th of January 2023:
|
||||
|
||||
`mdfind -name red AND created:19/1/2023`
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: The _AND_ is not explicitly needed here, but I put it for reminder yet.
|
||||
|
||||
Find file named _red_ modified on 19th of January 2023:
|
||||
|
||||
`mdfind -name red AND modified:19/1/2023`
|
||||
|
||||
The date-related searches also understand ranges.
|
||||
|
||||
Find files with _red_ in their name modified in the period from the 1st of January
|
||||
2023, and up to (including) 19th of January 2023:
|
||||
|
||||
`mdfind -name red modified:01/01/2023-19/1/2023`
|
||||
|
||||
Same, but _created_ in that period:
|
||||
|
||||
`mdfind -name red created:01/01/2023-19/1/2023`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Find file by their size
|
||||
We can specify file size as additional search term.
|
||||
This will find files with the _red_ in their names AND of size 0 bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
`mdfind name:red AND size:0`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
`mdfind name:red AND NOT size:0` will find files named _red_ that are NOT 0
|
||||
bytes in size.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
We can provide ranges for sizes as well. To find files named _red_ of size
|
||||
between 10 and 25 bytes:
|
||||
|
||||
`mdfind -interpret name:red AND size:\<25 AND size:\>10`
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: The '\' escapes '<' and '>' from the shell interpretation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Disable Spotlight/mdfind indexing for a specific volume
|
||||
|
||||
* Spotlight (and thus mdfind) stores its index for each hard drive in a hidden
|
||||
directory named `.Spotlight-V100` located at the root of each disk. You can list this directory contents with
|
||||
sudo mdutil -L _path-to-the-disk_* , e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
sudo mdutil -L /Volumes/exFAT1Tb
