I've mentioned HoudahSpot plenty of times, but there's an app that's been around since about 2005 that has been continually updated and only costs $6-10 that's worth checking out if you constantly run into hard-to-find files. One major benefit of Find Any File is that it can search your NAS and doesn't rely on Spotlight for indexing. Searches can be a little slow but they are VERY accurate. Allows saving searches and search templates, and can export found files as a list for use in scripting app...

A file-watcher with a lot of options and event granularity. There is a boatload of options for watching a directory for changes and executing a command, but if the others aren't doing what you're looking for, check direvent out. Oh, and by the way, it's really good to see [OneThingWell back at it](https://onethingwell.org/post/188125174832/direvent) (via).
