About this tool

Select PDFs or a whole folder and search all of them at once — every match with its file, page and a highlighted snippet, exportable as CSV.

Text is read from every page once, then searched for all words, any word or an exact phrase, with whole-word and case options that work in every script.

Example: 300 invoices in a folder, search “late fee” → 14 matches on 12 pages in 9 files.

Scanned PDFs without a text layer are listed so you can run OCR on them first. The browser only reads the folder you choose; the Desktop app will add full-disk indexing later.

Quick steps

  1. Choose your files — they stay on your device.
  2. Set the options and check the preview or the test results.
  3. Download the result. Your original files are never changed.

Files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to 1CLIK.
