file manager to find file buried in subdirs ?
sometimes, an app stores its images/files under a ton of directories, do you know a good android file manager that can quickly search it ?
chimay, 
there is also ghost commander, looks nice at first glance
Saltarello, MiXplorer. If you don’t already use it theres a bit of a learning curve but I just ran a quick test & it found a file 6 directories deep in /android/data/… with no problems at all
Skyline, MiXplorer is great! I’ve been using it for several years, and it always does everything I want and much more.
jfx, Blackberry used to have a “global device search” feature. I’d love something like that for Android.
Grishaix, 
chimay, thanks everyone for our ideas, in the past i’ve used dolphin (kde) with mtp support to search files, it works but you obviously need a linux box.
jsveiga, I use JuiceSSH (well, I use it for ssh, but it can also open a shell on the local device, so…)
Open a local shell, then
cd /storage/emulated/0
then use “find”, for example
find . -type f -iname “*.jpg” | more
Oisteink, I’m with this guy ^^
Here some good starter info: plesk.com/…/find-files-in-linux-via-command-line/
MeepMorp, You could accomplish this with Tasker if you wanted to dip your toes into some programming.
Andy, 
Material Files at least has a search that seems to work, but it doesn’t clearly show all the result paths at once.
If you can mount the filesystem to your computer, you could use broot or anything you want from there.
viridis777, I use FX and it can search for filenames
