search amongst file content

[tsolignani]

Good morning everyone and have a nice palm Sunday.

I am trying with no joy to make a flow to search amongst text files's content.

The enclosed example, based on the grep command, goes into timeout and I have no clue why.

Tried some other syntax with no joy.

I am on a Note 10 plus Samsung.

Another way to do that would be to cycle with reading every file of the folder, assign each content to a variable and then check it with the contains function but I suspect that would be much slower.

Any hint?

And I am surprised that Solid Explorer does not offer that out of the box, it only search filenames. Is there any file manager which searches content as well? Just in case.

Thank you.

MiXplorer can search within files.

Thank you. I installed the silver one from the play store but I can't find the option. If I search by content it just search on the file name. Any idea? Thank you.

This is working for me.

I don't have that dialog box. Where should I go? Thank you.
