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.
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!!
