About

That line is in one of your files. SearchThing helps you find it. Bring PDFs, Word documents, Markdown, text, photos, and other supported files into one private library. Search across their passages instead of opening files one by one. SEARCH THE WAY YOU THINK • Smart starts with your words and adds related passages. • Meaning finds ideas phrased differently. • Exact stays with the words you entered. FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE See useful excerpts and their source locations. Open the original PDF or readable text, inspect why a passage matched, pin it, or add a note. Save searches you come back to. MADE FOR YOUR DEVICE Your files, index, and searches stay on your iPhone or iPad. Search and meaning matching run locally after a one-time model download. No account, subscription, ads, or cloud search. SearchThing requires iOS 17 or later. Search by meaning uses EmbeddingGemma 2, available as a one-time download of roughly 310 MB under the Apache 2.0 license. Exact keyword search works without the model. Wi-Fi is recommended for the download.
