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
I’m with this guy ^^
Here some good starter info: https://www.plesk.com/blog/various/find-files-in-linux-via-command-line/
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?
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.
Blackberry used to have a "global device search" feature. I'd love something like that for Android.
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
MiXplorer is great! I've been using it for several years, and it always does everything I want and much more.
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.
there is also ghost commander, looks nice at first glance
You could accomplish this with Tasker if you wanted to dip your toes into some programming.
I use FX and it can search for filenames
