This is the only way I've found (well, except for a bash script that I wrote) to search WordPerfect for Windows files on OS X. You need to click the light switch in the lower L of the EasyFind window to get a drawer to slide out with lists of file extensions, then add the .wpd file extension. After that it works brilliantly.
Oh man, I love Butler. I just set that up. Thanks for the idea.
@ brian:
You can actually do that if you use Butler - if you set EasyFind to launch with the hot key Command-F, you can set it to only be valid within the Finder. I do something similar myself with Butler and Spotlaser (http://osx.iusethis.com/app/spotlaser), which I have set to launch with Command-Shift-F. (Of course, you could probably do this with QS, LB, or the app launcher/key macro manager of your choice).
This is what Command-F should bring up when you're in the Finder.
Exactly (what spotlight should've been); wish Mac would purchase this excellent piece of code and implement as Spotlight.
..what Spotlight should've been!
