Search Everything Indexes Your Android For Instant Searching

Search Everything Indexes Your Android For Instant Searching

Android: Instant search is something you’re probably used to on your computer. Search Everything brings the same feature to Android so you can find whatever you’re looking for in a flash.

File browsers, like our favourite ES File Explorer, help with file navigation, but searching your device can still be slow. Search Everything makes thing much much quicker. The first time you launch the app, it will index the entire contents of your device and present you with an alphabetised list of files.

Of course, you don’t want to scroll through a list of thousands of files, so just start typing. As you type, Search Everything will filter on the fly. There’s no need to worry about folder structure as the app searches everywhere, and you can search for file names or extensions.

To open a file, you simply tap it, and if you tap and hold you can access additional options. From the popup menu, you can share or delete files, view properties, or open the folder the file is stored in. In terms of features, Search Everything is fairly lightweight, but its speed of searching is what makes the app really stand out.
