adding Recent searches and search in pdf comments

It is a great app but it would be better if it shows recent searches under the search box , and if it could search keywords in comments written inside comment boxes in pdfs

Great idea; bad Apple

I bought this app so I would no longer have to depend on Apple File System while I no longer wanted iCloud to have access or control over my files and documents. Wish I would have known beforehand that you can’t turn off iCloud without losing your documents / files forever…. unless you save each and every single file and move them to a separate device. Uploading to another cloud server doesn’t work either. Otherwise, you will lose all files /documents iCloud ever had access to and EasySearch will suddenly become useless. Now I Can’t open my files via EasySearch and have lost several hundreds of documents… by turning off iCloud. Somehow Apple iOS corrupts the EasySearch app in a way that it loses its incredibly fast and precise search functions and lose not only all of your important docs but all of the time it took you to create and organize the new file system created with EasySearch. Sadly not the app developer’s fault. For that you can thank Apple. 😖

Amazing App

Just wanted to say this app has been everything that Spotlight should be! Thank you so much for making this app. I can’t believe how good it is and how it makes searching 1000’s pdf so much easier!

Need Mac OS version and some extra features

Working on my thesis now. Really liked your app! The best I found by this moment. It makes my work productive and saves me a lot of time

However, I would like to also have a version for Mac OS with bookmarks synchronization. The search with bulean operations support (like in Obsidian, to filter search results more precisely), will be more useful in my opinion. Moreover, I wish you add the ability to edit selected text in bookmarks (like in Zotero), because many PDF's on Apple devices usually have break lines, which I would like to be able to remove in bookmark. And finally, working with tags would be much more efficient if I could group my bookmarks by several tags at once

So, to conclude, this app is really unique, and I wish you could make it much better in the near future!

monthly fee to use!

This should be disclosed up front, is seen nowhere in the description here or on the website. 1 star given for lack of transparency, not the app itself, which I deleted.
