How To Search For Property List Files That Contain A String On Mac
Is there a way to search for all property list files that contain a certain string? Spotlight doesn't search inside .plist files. Yes, I have 'System Files Are Included'.
For example, say a plist (the name of which is unknown) contains <string>abc</string>. Is there a way to search through the entire Mac for and output the file location of said plist?
Solution 1:
EasyFind (Freeware) will find anything.
It will be slow, because it doesn't use an index, it searches file by file - but it will find it if it's there.
