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.

     

    You can see more about this here. 

     

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate!
