chimay OP ,

there is also ghost commander, looks nice at first glance

MiXplorer. If you don’t already use it theres a bit of a learning curve but I just ran a quick test & it found a file 6 directories deep in /android/data/… with no problems at all

Skyline ,

MiXplorer is great! I’ve been using it for several years, and it always does everything I want and much more.

Blackberry used to have a “global device search” feature. I’d love something like that for Android.

Total Commander

chimay OP ,

thanks everyone for our ideas, in the past i’ve used dolphin (kde) with mtp support to search files, it works but you obviously need a linux box.

jsveiga ,

I use JuiceSSH (well, I use it for ssh, but it can also open a shell on the local device, so…)

Open a local shell, then

cd /storage/emulated/0

then use “find”, for example

find . -type f -iname “*.jpg” | more

Oisteink ,

I’m with this guy ^^
Here some good starter info: plesk.com/…/find-files-in-linux-via-command-line/

You could accomplish this with Tasker if you wanted to dip your toes into some programming.

Material Files at least has a search that seems to work, but it doesn’t clearly show all the result paths at once.

If you can mount the filesystem to your computer, you could use broot or anything you want from there.

viridis777 ,

I use FX and it can search for filenames

Voidtools’ Everything for Android would be cool indeed. But iirc androids filesystem already has a global database of files, no? So shouldn’t any file manager be able to quickly find anything in there without walking the hierarchy?
