How to search inside .txt files?

It would be great if we could search inside txt files or docs in the app.

  • Hi AdamGr, thanks for posting here! 

     

    Keep in mind that full-text search is available on some of our plans, and it would allow you to do exactly what you described above.

      Thanks, Megan for the answer. I will consider moving to the Plus plan then. Does it work in the app (as most of the time I'm searching for content on a go) or only in the browser?

      best regards,
      Adam
