A video editor developed a custom search tool named Scout using Claude Code to address frustrations with Apple's Finder. The tool allows users to specify which drives to search, bypassing internal SSDs and avoiding issues with macOS's indexing processes that can cause external drives to become unsearchable. Scout offers features like live search, fuzzy matching, thumbnail previews for images and videos, scrubbable video previews, and audio volume adjustment, supporting a wider range of codecs than Finder.
