Sherlock's Index & Shutdown feature can index your drives and execute a shutdown command, resulting in a swift and convenient process for saving your data and shutting down your computer.
The importance of indexing your hard drive(s) cannot be overstated. Without an index, Sherlock is unable to search through the contents of your files, making the "Find by Content" function useless. And if you have modified files that weren't present during the last indexing, you'll need to update the index to ensure that these new files are searchable.
Typically, users have the option to schedule their drives to be indexed at a specific time each day using Sherlock. But this can slow down your system during use. Index & Shutdown offers a resolution to this problem by performing the indexing task during shutdown, so your system doesn't experience any interruptions.
It's important to note that Index & Shutdown is compatible with OS X as a classic app. This latest release, in particular, fixes an issue that prevented previous versions of the software from running correctly on newer versions of the operating system.
Overall, if you're looking for an easy way to automate the indexing of your hard drive(s) and ensure that your content is searchable by Sherlock, then Index & Shutdown is definitely worth considering.
