Thanks for adding save functions for results

by ea*****, 2026-03-31

Really happy I found this. Need to search against a list and this is perfect. Works well with files downloaded to my phone. Only suggestion I’d have is adding another level - search for term, then search for second term in the results. (I sometimes have many matches which I then need to scan by sight.)
