Documentor
  • A new File Query Language (FQL) now powers List View search – filter files by name or folder path using and / not, bracketed or, quoted phrases, and the * and ? wildcards.
  • Searching is done through a form-first faceted panel that opens inline beneath the toolbar (a Finder-style filter) – labeled Name and Path rows, live validation, and a plain-English readback of every query.
  • An Advanced mode adds a raw query box for power users, with a one-way “Copy to Advanced” from the form and a live matches-of-total count in the status bar.
  • The same query engine is built to also drive Documentor's upcoming duplicate-management rules, so search and cleanup will share one language.
