While Finder is good, I am wondering if any new tools with good UI exist for improved search of my MacBook pro. Just curious.
Not a Mac user, but alternativeto.net mentions this app, which feels like a name I have heard before. (Not free.) https://alternativeto.net/software/scherlokk/
I use EasyFind on my Mac at work. https://easyfind.en.softonic.com/mac
Easy to use and has been reliable for me.
I have heard a lot of people are using Alfred: https://www.alfredapp.com
I have not used it yet, but I was thinking about it.
A friend just mentioned this, I’m unsure if it’s what you want, but the price is right if it’s something you’d like:

I ended up going with “Find Any File” good rating in the app store and it did the job. I switched to a new macbook and everything wasn’t where I was used to…this made it easy to find things with compound search criteria
EasyFind is great. I use HoudahSpot, not free but truly full-featured and with a really nice UI.
I recommend checking out Launchbar. Launchbar works to have everything accessible from the keyboard. It has Finder-like functionality, but a whole bunch of other things too. Launchbar is made by the team that made Little Snitch, one of the best all-time apps for MacOS.
