aGrep

Because it finds stuff :) ―― 1_Set a base path to start the search [+] (Necessary, long-press on the folder name (browse up […] to get to other Storage)), 2_Add file extensions to the list [+] (Necessary ( * here means NoExtension )(AnyExtension I can't figure...)), & 3_Check at least one item of both to use for a given search. ―― If you learn the most basic RegEx you'll be miles ahead. (Try e.*t after checking 'Regular Exp...') ―― A few Settings. If the screen labels get wacky, just exit & relaunch the app. Despite the minor flaws, I like the one-screen setup & go. [me:KitKat]

Alhamdulillah, Its a great app ever, I found all thee things in this app what I needed, thanks the developer team. It searches the word even utf-8 in few seconds and no case sensitive, and then press any search line and go to the original file view, GREAT! or press short tap to copy - the feature is also great. I found at last what I was looking for. Can I get the projects codes?

Not working on huawei p9 lite nougat, "unable access" all directory and not even found a simple text file but it's here. I dont give 1 star because the app latest update is 2014 and I believe it cause by runtime permission required since Android 6.

Awesome devs. Best for programming and modding. I have suggestions, add Replace words feature. It would be great. Btw, 5★ rates

Works fine but quite slow compared to using busybox grep in a term.

Best app for find text, It would be desirable to copy the path file Where the word was found

Everyone needs grep

Really useful. Great app!

Love it ... Very much.

Good grepper

Excellent

I used the app to search for names in a directory with 20 text files (from 247KB up to 3927KB). The search uses regular expressions and ignores case. This app can really search for what I need to look for in the document. On my mobile phone (2 Cores 1.2GHz), the search process takes about 30 seconds, maybe up to 40 seconds to check the result for all the files. The same search process takes about 15 to 20 seconds On a tablet pc (4 Cores 1.3GHz). My default document viewer is having trouble opening these moderately big sized txt files but with aGrep, opening and viewing the text within the search results is amazingly fast. It is also easy to cancel the searching so you can quickly change the search parameters if you made a mistake on your input. (Doing all this search process on a mainstream desktop PC will display the results instantaneously) I don't know if it is about my Phone's processing power that the search result takes some time. From the apps that I have tried out so far, this is the only one that can do the task. Now, I'm just checking if there are other apps that can do it faster.

Running Android 6 and your app cannot find anything, or at least never displays anything; just "Now Searching" popup, then "Finished." toast ... EDIT: reinstalled app and now it works perfectly!

I can no longer add folders to search. It initially worked. Presume no longer updated to support latest annoying android security changes, although from reviews other users must be managing.

Very fast, very useful for me. I'm using a lot of large text files from different languages. This is very precious to me, thanx. Wish i can have more options for the display

Just try to select the target directory... Nothing there says how...

Will only search for files on my Samsung Tab A device storage but most of my docs are on my SD card

Doesn't work. For my phone anyway.

It is fast and easy to use. Thanks

Enjoying this app. Searching txt files made easy

No works.

meet my need

workz exactly as described

Excellent

I searched for 'search text' apps. They searched whole disk to find a string. Finally this app searches spcicific directory and extension provided. Also this Android 5.0 update seems to work well.

Thank you for such great applications. No issues so far from side. App does what it should do by intention. Keep it up devs!

Does all it promised, and even intents to other editors

Wild card support and multi-word search would be great!

Recommended by equally superb companion app JOTA & JOTA+ PEACE

Searching for some characters (such as ) causes the app to instantly crash. Little buggy, but appears to work OK.

Pretty impressive app,allows me to grep files on the bus without having to break out the laptop. (Yes I have to do this more then any body believes) :)

Programs like this give hope to Android and smart phones of the potential to function like a real desktop computer...

No crash or whatsoever. You just need to use it correctly

Very useful, especially when you're used to using grep in linux.

Excellent

it does not allow you to simply write the search path, you need to browse to it, and i could not browse to the whole device including the external sd card.

This application has a major problem: it does not find the word you are searching for, if that word is in the file-name..!!! Example: suppose you have a folder containing hundreds of text files. you are searching for some word, say: xyz. If xyz is in the body of some file, it will be found and displayed correctly. But if xyz is in the file-name of that file, it will not be shown..!! I understand a search tool should find all occurrences of the target word, both in the file-body and in the file-name.. Please adjust and I'll give you five stars.. Thanks

Thank you!

Great tool

Couldn't select directory as /. Why selecting directory had to be difficult?
