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, doc, 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 )


important hint:
To protect your privacy, we only collect and use necessary permissions. We require the "MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" permission to index all documents and provide full search functionality. This application would not work without the core functionality of Index Documents. We respect and protect your personal information.

I use text (txt) files on my Android smart phone because they do not require proprietary editors to read and edit. I have approx 275+ txt files and finding specific text in them can be challenging. I have been using DocSearch+ for several years and it is the *BEST* App I have found for finding text inside my files. The developer accepted my suggestion to create the "G" (grep) search feature and it has helped me a lot. Of the few text search Apps out there this one is definitely the BEST!

This is really solid, well-versed, highly advanced app fit for a desktop. Obviously, it helps to have a little know how to setup ur index and keep it tracked to your repositories of files u wish to index. But truly isn't all too hard and there is a phenomenal guide soon as you start the app. Just hopefully you manage ur files decently on ur internal storage / SDcard to get the best experience. Regardless this all is top notch for searching massive sized and number of documents and the like

Finally!! Just what I needed! I had not been able to find an app that searched WITHIN a file, not just looking at filenames. This is just what I had been looking for. Now when I can't remember which file contained what I was seeking, I can find it quickly and easily with this app. It saves me SO much time and frustration. Kudos to the developer! I highly recommend this app; there are none others that can do what it does. And no annoying ads!
