PDF Search 4+

I had yearned for a way to search for contents in multiple PDF files, all at the same time, in the palm of my hands. I found this app, bought it, and well, without no doubt - This app just NAILS IT!

I’ve been using the app to search through more than 15 past exam pdf files simultaneously. I put any concept I learned in my lectures as a keyword so that I can get the hang of the trend of how the concept is translated into exams in practice. The result shows really fast with intuitive and neat animations, UI is really easy to navigate through.

To be fair, the idea of searching through multiple files on the go is not new for sure (in PC adobe acrobat can do the same thing), but rarely do you find an iPad app that can do so with this much easy UI and high utility. Speaking of utility, The AI features (auto correction, suggestions for serarch, etc) are practically useful. Those are not gimmicks. Very satisfactory.

My only complaints are that:
1.No dark theme is available although Mac version supports it
2.No lasso tool that you could use to capture some parts of a document, not the entire thing.

Apart from these, I’m in love with the prductivity that this app provides. Definitely worth the price!

Thank you for your kind review. I am adding your complaints to my feature request list. By the way for your second complaint, PDF Search has "Export Current Page as PDF" feature in the share button list. Maybe this will help you. Also you can contact to our support page to give more details about your needs. Regards.

The unique way this app allows the searching of PDF documents puts it in a class of its own!! I am able to search over 70,000 PDFs for my research. It's fantastic!!

I have been using it for the past 2 years and now sync my iPad with the Mac App. It has really changed the way I search for info.

One small bug is that my OSX Color Tagged PDFs do not sync properly with the iPad yet. Hopefully the developer will sort this out in future versions.

Thank you for this kind review. We really interested in your improvement idea. I will be very appreciated. If you can reach us via support page and give some more details. Regards.

Good app but search is not good.

1) For example, you cant search phrases like “Barack Obama”. If you do it will find individual cases of each word separately rather than the phrase together.

2) It misses occurrences of words. For example if you “Marx”, the word “Marxism” will not be in the result even though “Marx” is in “Marxism”.

3) Misses some searched entirely. I have a document with certain words, I tried searching those word but this app did not detect it.

First of all, sorry for the bad experience you had. See my comments below please.

1) Please try entering the keywords into the search box within double quotes. Entering words within double quotes ensures the pages containing the keywords in the same order are found.

2) If you want to find the word 'Marxism' by typing 'Marx', put an asterisk at the end. 'Marx*'. This way, you will have searched all the words starting with Marx.

You can check our manual at web site for more search patterns.

3) If you can contact my support page, we can check the problem for non-found words in detail. It maybe because of inde settings or document structure.

Regards.
