Proprietary file types from applications like Quark and InDesign have a knack for hiding from Mac OS X’s built-in search app, Spotlight. For users will vast stores of these types of files, search can be an awkward process of trial and error. Markzware’s new PageZephyr knows how to look for these types of proprietary files.

General purpose search applications like Spotlight do an excellent job of giving byte-slingers swift access to the content in a panoply of common file types. When it comes to proprietary formats like those created by Quark Express and Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) InDesign, those file ferrets can be blind as olms. That poses a big problem for publishers of every stripe who have countless documents in those formats and need to find something in them. Now, though, there’s a solution to that problem. It’s called “PageZephyr.”
