Leave a Review easySearch
Very useful search utility!
I recently started using an external NVME drive that I can connect to the USB-C port of my iPhone, a feature that Apple now supports in iPhone 15. When I connect the external drive, I have access to thousands of my files that I’ve copied to the drive, but I needed a good way search for particular files using keywords contained within them. easySearch was the solution. With this app, I am able to connect my external drive and add any folder from the NVME drive as a desired search location. The app will then index the contents of that folder including the sub folders for supported file types (including txt files, PDF files, Word Docs, Excel, etc.). Once the indexing is complete, you can search for key words, or multiple key words and the app will present a list of files containing your search terms. You can then tap on any of of those documents to open the file and the app will highlight the searched term within the file. From there you can proceed to modify the file by sending it to the desired editing app (i.e. open .docx file in Microsoft 365 mobile Word App). For those needing the capability I just described, this app is great! It was even able to find searched words within images. The app also supports searching of cloud locations like iCloud, Dropbox and OneDrive, but I have not used it for this purpose yet.Show lessjeffbisko
It seems to work pretty good
Better than the stock iPhone reach optiongygkhf
Great For Searching Multiple PDFs
Great app for searching multiple PDFs. Tried many, I mean many, app trying to find this feature.
Will buy a subscription but hopefully they don’t change anything and ruin this great research tool.Fun Ilgfdhff
AMAZING
It can index and search all kinds of file types and fast! Better than pdf search appCamfella
Didn’t work
It will only index 8 items on my iPhone
I even tried subscribing, NOTHING
still the same 8 items nothing more
I just want to be able to search my entire iPhone But No App Can Do It NOT EVEN THE SEARCH ON MY IPHONE
I HATE IPHONES
Uninstalling 😞Best mass-search app I’ve found, MacOS or iOS
This allows me to search through thousands of html files and hundreds of textbook PDFs to locate specific phrases that I need to locate quickly for reference. After initial indexing (which takes ~25 minutes for my massive collection), response is near-instantaneous on my 2G 12.9” iPad Pro. Results are highlighted and shown in a sidebar. KeepIt for Mac was the only comparable option for me, and that worked poorly on the PDFs, didn’t have a (subscription-free) mobile option, and costs $60.Show lesswhatnicknameISNTtaken?
Looking for this for a long time!
This app will be a game changer for me in terms of reading and research. Years ago on Windows I loved a file search app called Agent Ransack, and then used a similar tool on
Linux called Search Monkey. Attempts to compile SM for MacOS never really worked and I found alternatives that were OK-ish.
I have tried so many hacks to get something similar for iPadOs and they’ve all failed until now. Thank you for working with Files instead of requiring full import into yet another app. Thank you for supporting content search across multiple epubs—that was what convinced me to buy premium. I’m so, so pleased and can’t thank you enough!Show lesscavgirl78
