HoudahSpot 6.1 distills the feedback we received on the HoudahSpot 6 upgrade into a series of refinements: small changes that will subtly improve your file management.
Apple Mail Messages and MailTags
HoudahSpot can now find Apple Mail messages tagged by SmallCubed’s MailTags plug-in. HoudahSpot searches message keywords and project names. Requires MailSuite 2021 for macOS Big Sur.

HoudahSpot 6.1 dramatically improves the performance of Apple Mail message searches.
Quick Look Preview
HoudahSpot 6.1 brings enhanced Quick Look previews for files hosted by the document and information management solution DEVONthink.
The Quick Look preview pane in HoudahSpot now lets users select text. It is thus possible to copy-paste from search results without the need to open the found files.
Tag Cloud
The Tag cloud introduced in HoudahSpot 6.0 can now be hidden when not in use.
Text Preview
“Text Preview” can now be set to use a fixed-width font. This configuration improves the legibility of texts like source code and tabulated data.
Refinements and Fixes
The window toolbar offers more space where to grab and move the HoudahSpot search window.
Fixes a bug where “Find by Example” failed to pick up file properties.
Adds a workaround for a macOS Catalina bug where toolbar items can disappear when working with tabs.
Fixes a bug where Mail search results initially failed to show.
