How To [Task Share] Universal Search... and much more!
A floating utility to search and get actionable results across a variety of categories across your device.
Categories:
Categories (📱 Apps, 👤 Contacts, 📁 Files, ⚡ Quick Actions, 🌐 Web) only appear when you start typing and when they have matching results. Each category displays a colour-coded header, a badge count, up to 3 items, and a ▼ Show X more... Material pill button to expand the full list.
Rich Material 3 UI & Pill Buttons: Every result card uses rounded Material 3 style containers, real App Icons for installed applications, colour-coded File Type Pills (PDF, IMG, TXT, DOC), and dedicated Action Pills (📞 Call, 💬 SMS, ✉️ Email) for contacts depending on which data fields exist for that person.
Tasker Tasks:
⚡ TASKER TASKS Category - Automatically discovers all your named Tasker Tasks by reading Tasker's content://net.dinglisch.android.tasker/tasks provider and parsing Tasker's internal configuration XML (databackup.xml / userbackup.xml) directly inside Tasker's sandbox.
Matching Tasks appear under ⚡ TASKER TASKS with a ▶ Run Task pill button. Tapping a task invokes tasker.callTask(taskName, null) to run it immediately!
Interactive Folder Picker & Settings Modal:
A ⚙️ Settings button to the top bar opens a Material 3 modal displaying all top-level folders on your internal storage (/storage/emulated/0/) as toggleable pill chips, plus a Custom Subfolder input box (e.g., Work/Projects) if you want to index a specific deep directory.
When you tap 💾 Save & Re-Index, your folder selections are saved to SharedPreferences and the SQLite cache rebuilds immediately.
Web results:
⚡ Instant Jump (I'm Feeling Lucky / DuckDuckGo ! Bang Routing): Clicking the first pill skips the search engine results page altogether and redirects your browser straight to the #1 top-ranked website for that term.
📖 Live Instant Answers (Wikipedia OpenSearch API): As you type (after a 300ms pause), a background thread queries the Wikipedia REST API and populates up to 3 real, clickable article links inside your sub-list that jump directly to the subject page.
🔍 Standard Google Search Fallback: A pill to open the standard search page if needed.
File Indexer:
The file indexer is a 3-tier bulletproof scanner:
Fast Native Shell find Scan (works across all selected folders on Android 11+ without Scoped Storage blind spots).
Recursive Java File Walker (with individual row try/catch protection so a restricted folder never aborts the transaction).
MediaStore Volume Fallback (reconstructing paths via RELATIVE_PATH + DISPLAY_NAME for modern Android).
You will also see a live 📁 X files indexed counter in the bottom status bar so you know for a fact the database is populated!
Additional Features:
🧮 Live Inline Calculator: If you type a math expression (e.g., 45 * 1.2 or (120 / 4) + 15), an instant Calculator category appears at the very top; tapping it copies the result to your clipboard.
🌐 Direct URL Detector: If you type something resembling a domain (e.g., bbc.co.uk), it offers an immediate Open URL shortcut.
NOTE:
- Tasker must have permission to access files/storage.
