🔎 A Search Page for your Nextcloud instance

It works like the existing search widget, uses the same sources to query BUT displays the results in a more readable and browsable fashion.

The content of the results depends on the other applications installed on your Nextcloud instance. Every Nextcloud application can become a search provider and get its results displayed by this application.

Out of the Nextcloud box, you usually get the following providers:

  • Apps -- searches for match for in installed application names
  • Files -- searches on path and filename
  • Tags
  • Comments
  • Settings

Because of its design, the results depend on the implementation of the providers in respective application.

Known issues with other applications:

  • users -- by design(?), it always returns an empty array (it is hidden/disabled in this application)
  • fulltextsearch -- does not seem to AND the query terms, OR is usually less relevant
  • news -- does not provide a direct link to a feed item.

It's the app i always knew i needed.

The app conveniently shows all search results on the page. No more scrolling around trough an endless list looking for the app you wanted to search in.

Usually, the best apps are the ones you end up discovering that you needed, but only after you have used them. I have found Nextcloud's search fairly useful in the past albeit limited but it sufficed, most of the time. This app is better, it provides way more hits and from more apps, which is welcome if you have a lot of files on your cloud. It is pretty fast, too. Recommended.
