create a mobile application for offline text search

completed by: Ben Stobaugh

mentors: eMBee

the users of this application want to be able to search phrases in text-files that they have saved on their phone, using a simple, distraction free interface

  • the application should only search in files in a specified directory on the mobile device
  • the interface should only offer a box to enter the search text
  • search results should display the name of the file and optionally the line where the search text was found in the file

the application should be implemented with cordova/phonegap so that can run on different devices, however for the completion of this task, only one device needs to be supported.
