About this app

DocSearch+ is a full-text search application designed to search filenames and file contents on your mobile phone. This application focuses on searching file contents and filenames, excluding phone numbers, contacts, apps, etc. As a result, it is simple and easy to use, providing only relevant information in the search results. It is particularly useful for individuals who are primarily interested in searching for files on their phones.

When you first use DocSearch+, you will be prompted to create indexes for your phone. These indexes enable DocSearch+ to quickly search files based on keywords.

We need the " MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" permission, which will allow DocSearch+ to index all documents, providing efficient and accurate searches.

To conduct a search, enter one or more keywords in the text field at the top left and click the search icon on the right side of the field. The search results will be displayed in the result pane.

Features:
- Supports full-text searching of both filenames and file contents.
- Allows immediate viewing of file contents within the app, eliminating the need for external applications.
- After completing a search, you can view, open, copy, move, delete, sort, filter, and share all the resulting files. You can also access the files using a file explorer.
- Easily and quickly scroll to the matched words in full-text mode.
- In brief-text mode, you can simultaneously view all brief texts containing the keywords.
- Supports various file formats, including plain text (txt, text, java, php, etc.), Microsoft Office (docx, xlsx, pptx), PDF, ebooks (epub), odt, and HTML.
- Supports logical search, phase search, proximity search, regexp search, and "grep" search.
- Manages multi-page searches.
- You can search for special characters, for example, "#abc", "2366–1245", "tom@mail.com".
- Supports almost all languages, including but not limited to English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, German, French, Vietnamese, Tamil, Czech, Tibetan, etc.

Additionally, there are basic/standard/premium subscription features available:
- Sort and filter search results. (standard, premium )
- Unlimited access to view all file content within the search results.(premium )
- Search for keywords within the results.(premium )

Not suitable for my purpose. I'm attempting to solve a problem I'm having with another app whose files are in the android/files folder. App doesn't even give me the option of selecting a folder within that folder, even though it's readable and accessable to me. So, if you're looking to search normal documents, it's fine. Attempt anything else, get something else.

The very best way to find text strings within files. It searches through a variety of word processing formats and pdf's Thanks to indexing, the search is fast. Worth many times the very low cost. Note: To get the most out of this program do read the included guide.

Overall I like the app but have found some issues in the search function. It seems the app doesn't like special characters such as / - etc. For instance I have stories that show pairings as Name1/Name2 but when you put that in quotes eg "Name1/Name2" the app returns any story that contains either Name1 or Name2 rather than the shorter list of stories that contain the phrase "Name1/Name2". Hopefully the next version of the app will fix that issue. Other than that the app works really well.
