Pick a vault folder and search it

Give the vault one folder, keep the grant across restarts, and search it from home.

Goal

Grant the vault one folder and find vault documents by search.

Before you start

  • Zavub is installed.
  • You have a folder with documents, for example in your Files app.

Steps

  1. Open the vault

    From home search or the tools list.

  2. Choose Select folder

    Android's folder picker opens.

  3. Pick the folder and confirm

    Confirm the access grant for that folder.

  4. Search a document

    From home search, type its name.

  5. Restart and check

    The grant should survive a restart; open the vault again.

What you should see

The vault lists documents from the chosen folder, and the access grant persists after restart.

If something goes wrong

  • The vault is empty after restart

    Android may have revoked the folder grant. Reopen the vault and select the folder again; nothing was deleted.

  • A document does not show in search

    Search matches names; make sure the document is inside the granted folder.
