The problem

While browsing, you may remember another file without wanting to find a separate search command. The toolbar provides a convenient entry.

A practical answer

In GJ File Manager 2.98, typing in the top search field and pressing Return opens global search. It does not filter only the current folder.

Step by step

  1. Click the top search field while browsing a sample folder.
  2. Type a distinctive name such as Brief-v2 and press Return.
  3. In the global results, inspect the source, path and available filters.
  4. Close the results to return to browsing.

Know the limits

The toolbar and global shortcut use the same search capability. Actual coverage depends on enabled sources, authorization and indexing.

Common question

How is letter search different?

Letter search works directly in the current file list and places matches first. The toolbar submits a global query.
