Hi Raul, Thanks so much for recommending Nebulous. I got it a year ago or so, and at that time it couldn't load the files I wanted to use because they were too large, so I removed it from my phone. Today I put it back, and wow, what a great search funciton it has? It's immediate, and focus goes right to the place in the file where the search term is. The search interface is much better than that of AccessNote at this point. The AccessNote search was slow in version 1, but it worked reasonably well. Now, searching brings up a dialog with Next and Previous buttons, it's very difficult to tell where each instance of the search term is, particularly if you use a braille display, and when I press Cancel to exit the dialog, focus often stays where it was, rather than going to the place I'm trying to find, so it's not very usable at all. I'll still use AccessNote if there's a file I need to keep its place when I exit the app, but I think Nebulous will replace it most of the time.
