Works with remote shares (FTP, SMB, AFP, etc) via Volumes

This is a no-frill and simple app that gets the job done.

My collegues share documents on FTP and SMB network shares. I was concerned this app only works with local files.

I emailed the developers, and they advised me to use the "Connect to Server" wizard, which mounts the remote share as a volume in Finder. This worked and I could search the shared folders!

excellent app, really worked!

I used this app while Finder in Mac does not work.
I searched file contents in PDFs, Word and basically in all the formats. It worked well and very quickly!
