DocSearch+ is an Android app for searching documents stored on a phone. It is intended to help users locate files such as references and e-books by entering keywords, rather than browsing through folders to find a particular item. Its search covers both document names and text within documents.
Indexing and search
Users can create an index of the documents on their phone. The index includes filenames and document content, so a search can find a file even when the relevant term appears in its text rather than its name. Creating the index is the documented starting point for searching a collection of documents with the app.
Full-text search accepts multiple keywords. Search results include document names and paragraphs containing matching terms, giving users a way to identify relevant material before opening a document. This can be useful when looking for a passage in research material or locating a title among stored e-books.
Working with results
From the results, users can view a document’s full content. The app also provides actions to copy or send documents, move folders, and delete unwanted content. These controls bring searching and some document organization into the same app, without requiring users to locate the item again in a separate file browser.
DocSearch+ is described as supporting multiple languages and file formats, though the available description does not name them. Users looking for a particular language or document type should therefore check its support before relying on it for that material.
