Ratings and Reviews
Missing features
I miss the option to search only in file names. For some reason spotlight is unable to properly find/filter file names in a folder.
Developer Response ,
Hi PedroGarcia. I appreciate the need to find files by name. This is a feature available in the Files app.
I wanted to address the need to search the contents of files quickly and easily. I also try to follow the design principle of doing one thing well. So building an interface that allows searches for file names without caring about file contents would to me unnecessarily complicate matters.
Note that in the existing app, you can enable "Show All Files Searched" so you can get a list of all the filenames in the selected folders.
