SEARCH EVRYTHING

Hey guys,

Iv'e published my new app for android power users who have lots of files on their device and want easy access to them. It's called Search Everything. It's a file search app that scans your file system and indexes it. Then filters the list by your search term. The result is a fast almost instant results. It operates much like the program "Everything" on windows.

I'd really love to use this app full time but it does not list any files on my external SD (/storage/sdcard1).
Also, a few basic optinos like show/hide hidden files or garbage files from cache folders.
On the plus side, I really love the sheer speed and i like the color and simple interface design.

Hope there's an update sooon! :)

Good work, thanks much!

Great app, fast and smooth search but it did not index my external SD card. Couldn't find any thing in my SD card.

Quick and simple, but on open containing folder rootexplorer 2.x opens the default home directory instead..

The app works great- just like Everything :)
I've got a suggestion- it would be great if you could make a widget like google's quick search bar, or an app "in" the notification bar (like Notable).
And if it could search apps too.

I know it's a lot- but it's just to get you thinking if you want to add something (the app works great as it is, for me) :)

LOL you beat me to it. I was gonna suggest the same.

This app is great! Exactly what I have been searching for for a long time! Here are a few more suggestions:
Option to exclude specific locations from being indexed/searched.
Option to launch the app by pressing the search capacitive button, instead of the default google search app.

EDIT: forgot to mention the reason to exclude specific locations - don't really need the gallery thumbnail files in search, do we?

Great app, great work

I have now installed this app on my Nexus 7(2013), Nexus 5, and a Motto E and it works amazingly well.
I have been using ES File explorer since I did my first Android device root about 5 years ago and it has been my goto method of searching my devices ever since. But, as anyone who has done this knows it is painfully slow.
Your app has finally changed that and I could not be more grateful.

Thank you for all of your work it is greatly appreciated!

FC while indexing

Fantastic idea. 'Everything' on the PC is so useful, and this is no different. I don't need it to be able to open or view a file, just find where it is, that's been the painfull part upto now.

I do however get PC's every time during indexing, once it gets to around 32K+ files.

This would be a great feat, but imo, only if the search-speed isn't affected

I'm again worried about speed, but if you are looking for a fast and easy way to launch apps you could try App Dialer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.pilgr.appdialer

    Showing thumbnails was on the initial design so yeah i'll probably add it.

    Yes there are plans for root as this would be very helpful. Don't have plans yet for web searches.

    I've only tested this on ES file explorer, so don't expect much on other file managers but I'll add support for them soon.

    Wow, this is cool, but I'm just curious, how is this possible?

    From what I know, Everything Search Engine for Windows is based on build it's database from NTFS journal so it's like superfast and always up-to-date. But for Android phones, the /sdcard (which is where most of our files stored and the place we would like to search) is usually FAT isn't it? Then how would you accomplish this?

    Everything Search Engine for Windows is possible to search non-NTFS partitions by manually create a database from all the files and keep tracking all the files while running in background, are you doing the similar thing that is running a service at background all the time to keep track of new files? If so, wouldn't that kill our battery and isn't the Android's built-in Media Storage already doing something alike (but for media files only of course)

    No background service is running in this app, Its just a simple directory traversal that is cached and updated on every start-up.

    Hey guys, I did not know I was mentioned here on XDA up until now. Glad you guys are liking the app, thanks for all the interest.

    Anyway, SD card was not supported on initial release because all my test devices are nexus. I'm pushing an update fixing some FCs and working on SD card support now. After that I'll add suggestions in this thread.
