This is because with each additional metadata field that is common between the files you’re looking for, your previous selection stays intact and the new metadata you check off is added to the filter. You can even keep the Info panel for the search results open so you can filter deeper by applying multiple filters, which - as each file type has its set of metadata with some more extensive than others - is a real boon for digging deeper. Here, you can just check the metadata you want to use to further refine your search. The most powerful and user-friendly, however, is HoudahSpot’s capability to filter files based on them sharing a common property, such as files modified the same day. You access this type of filter by opening the Info panel on any found file in the results list and scrolling down until you reach the Metadata Filters list. This method is the least powerful because you need to know things in advance, but the implementation is pretty powerful in its own right. The first method, which is the least powerful is to filter based on file and folder name, or on file path - through using literal matches or regular expressions. HoudahSpot 6.0 has two ways of filtering search results - that can sometimes run into the thousands, which isn’t very helpful to find the needle in the proverbial haystack - to help you focus on relevant files by only showing you a subset of your search results.

Holding the shift key while clicking clears a previous selection and selects only the last clicked tag. The tag cloud allows you to incrementally refine your search by simply clicking a tag to restrict your search to files having that tag. It also shows the number of occurrences of each tag. Very obvious when you start HoudahSpot 6.0 for the first time is the file tag cloud, which shows both favourite file tags and all the tags found in the current search results.
