InFileSearch for Android
on 4-4-2 shame
Why the hell has the developer left this app to rot? Android is crying out for something similar to.desktop search on the PC. This is the only file search that searches within Word Docs, another app on Play searches only within Docx. It also searches for groups of words. I found this app in a forum - with a name like 'infilesearch' it's hardly going to pop up in an app search, is it?
Seria muito bom se futuras versões incluíssem suporte a pesquisa em arquivos DOCX.
good that you can search within the files (y)
Typo is fixed. Permisions are unlimited. Remove patterns from "Exclude system folders" and you will search entire device.
Hooray! I am amazed that a Google operation system (for Android phones) does not offer the equivalent of GDS (Google Desktop Search)... The best I had found until this app somehow showed up on my radar was 'aGrep', but this InFileSearch is more complete and has a very freindly interface! It has very reasonable options AND it seems to be blazingly fast. It finds partial strings (e.g., 'resist' for "Resistance"). I haven't tried using wildcards ('?' and '*' would be nice, full regex would be nicer...) My only "high wants' are (1) the text widget for the search string doesn't offer "Select Text" and/or "Select All" and so I have to backspace the entire previous string to enter a new search string; (2) the rich set of choices I am offered to "open" the discovered file that I select does not include my preferred TXT editor, "Jota Text Editor" (also 5 stars, since VIM isn't available;=), however fortunately I can select a file browser (it happens that I have 'ASTRO' installed which shows up near the head of the list), and luckily, ASTRO directly goes to opening the file, asking me a second time for what app to open the file with, and here, fortunately "Jota" is available in the list!=)
Finally I can find all my files! Thanks for update for ICS.
But it cannot handle documents in Russian. Is there any way to fix the app to make it find Russian docs?
Not responding ... force close / wait / report. Why doesn't that dialog offer an "Uninstall this crapp" option? Also doesn't fit my screen properly. Developer must be a toddler.
Hope next update will offer save search result
Slow
Works perfectly. This is only one app what I know which searches inside ebooks. Oh, it searches inside archives too. Good. What about InCloud search? Sometime I lost files in clouds too :)
I didn't know that my phone had so much PDF files :-) Right now I got rid of all of them...
Great
Add tablet support? sgt2.3.3
Exactly what I need!
This app works great. Lots of settings to make it find just the file you are looking for.
Search is very fast.
Finds local files OK unless the file you want is in you root folder. You should make an advanced version for people with rooted devices.
Good
