Doesn't Seem to Work (No Results)

[maxoakland]

It's an exciting idea but when I tried it out, I couldn't seem to get any results. Even searching for katsearch.app returned 0 results

I tried a few remedies:
• Added it to the Full Disk Access list
• Put it in the Applications folder

But nothing seemed to work

This is on MacOS Sonoma 14.5

KatSearch relies on the searchfs kernel function, and due to changes in how filesystems are handled in recent versions of macOS, it no longer works. At some point I may take a look at how this can be fixed, but this project hasn't seen any love for years and is unlikely to in the future.

That's too bad! I really like the idea and thought it was a cool and useful idea. Let me know if you ever decide to update it. I'd love to use the working version
