Hi.
Seeing all of the praise for Nebulous, I decided to download it again
and give it another try. This is the full version.
I'm having a heck of a time with the search within a file feature.
What's the best way to 1, search all files for a phrase, and 2, search
within a file for a phrase? I've tried using search from the macro bar
which I have enabled in settings and never seem to come up with a hit.
Also, Isn't it supposed to put the cursor on the match if any? I'm not
using a BT keyboard currently, just my iPhone 5s. I'm sure it's just
something I'm not understanding with regard to the way the app works.
Any thoughts?
Best Regards,
Rick alfaro

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.
Best,
Anna

I would like to add my personal endorsement for Nebulous. One thing which i
specifically like is its ability to send email attachments as actual
attachments. This beats other good editors like Droptext and Plaintext because
when you send emails from those apps, the actual text file contents is made a
part of your email. However you might not want that. Here comes Nebulous. When
you email a file you have been working with in nebulous, you are asked if you
want to attach it or send it inline.. That, plus all of its other wonderful
features it already has for less than half of the price of Access Note is well
worth it to me when it comes to nebulous.
Thanks all.

Hello, Iona.
You couldn't have asked your question at a better time. I am
evaluating iOS text editors and am asking myself the same question.
The highly acclaimed Notesy text editor, priced at $4.99, will allow
the user to search using a string from a file name or the body of a
note, and so does the Simplenote app, which is free. The same is true
for another well-respected app, Nebulous Notes Lite and Nebulous
Notes. The lite version is free and is ad-sponsored, and the pay
version is $7.99. The free app is fully functional, and the ads don't
interfere at all with VoiceOver use. The developers of Notesy and
Nebulous Notes mention VoiceOver support in the descriptions of their
apps posted to he App Store, and they have good reason to claim this
support. I'll update this list as needed. I hope to post my guide
soon, probably to the AppleVis site, where longer pieces probably fit
better into the site's context than they do here.
A note on Simplenote: it's quite different from the other editos
because it does not sync to Dropbox or iCloud; it syncs to its own
servers and is quite different in approach. More details happily
provided at your request.

Hi all,
I know that accessnote can search in a file but I'm curious if you know of
any alternative to it. It has many features I don't think I'd use so am
thinking twice to spend 20$ for just this feature.
THanks for any suggestions.
