The “What” section asks for details about the file(s) you’re looking for: name, text content, tags, and last modified.

The lefthand side of the program divides a search into “What”, “Where”, “Exclude”, and “Limit”. The main application window should be familar to anyone who has created a Smart Playlist in iTunes. When you launch HoudahSpot, a main application window opens, as well as menubar item called “BlitzSearch”. HoudahSpot lets you take scanned documents and access last year’s client matters as quickly as yesterday’s. Either you’re wasting billable hours handling paper or you’re paying subordinates or offsite companies to do it for you. If you’re not making a strong, successful effort to go paperless in your law practice, you’re wasting time (searching for documents), space (storing documents), and ultimately money. Why is that important? As I joked to an older friend at a technophobic law firm, the future of storage is not in bankers’ boxes.
