Review summary

Text Search is appreciated for its efficient and fast search capabilities across multiple files and folders with a simple and effective interface. Users like the ability to jump directly to relevant keywords and utilize grep-like search features. Common complaints include app crashes, persistent error messages during searches, loss of cached results after closing the app, and limited support for some file types. Users also desire features such as search scope customization to improve speed and usability. Despite its power, reliability issues and missing features prevent it from being a perfect solution.

The next best alternative app won't even allow you to jump to the relevant keywords in a text file, just tells you on which line of potentially thousands they appear. Instead 'Text Search' takes you right there in one tap allowing you to rapidly scan through hundreds of files. Absolutely fantastic!

2024-10-30	Jo*****	I just can not get this to work. I note others mention it is grep like & that it searches all sub folders, but even if I aim it at a high level folder with txt files in and sub folders of txt files I either get no results or an error saying check search terms. I've tried it on two separate Android devices it is not doing anything useful on either of them.

2024-09-22	Br*****	Amazing app! Searching archives of hundreds of PDFs for research is quick and easy! I give it 3 stars instead of 5 because: Every time you close the app, the Cache is lost!! I just wish that I could save the cache of results to a PDF with links to all of the findings OR be able to retrieve various cache results by filename. At least then, I would not have to keep running the same search each time I sit down to continue research on a particular topic. PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE!!

2024-09-01	An*****	v2.07 resolved the crash issue. I would like to propose a minor enhancement to the search functionality. Presently, when initiating a search, the system scans the designated folder and all its subfolders. This approach can be time-consuming, especially when the search needs to be confined to specific subfolders. By incorporating a multi-folder selection option, users can specify the subfolders to be searched, thereby reducing search time and enhancing efficiency.

2024-08-29	De*****	Thank you for responding and updating the app to fix the crashing issues I was having. This app is amazing and a lifesaver for someone with many documents requiring specific text searches, indexes the files great, easy to understand UI, very few apps like this out there, definitely recommend it!
