Incredibly Efficient Search Engine

The search engine of this app is incredibly efficient. I have more than 7600 pdf files and this app can search for a keyword INSTANTANEOUSLY!!! It shows the result AS YOU TYPE!

No other apps I have tried even came close. They would either hang or takes minutes to search such a large number of files.

Too bad that the apps doesn’t have any annotation capabilities. Had it came with that, it would have been perfect!
