Would it be possible to have an option to search all, instead of having to specify which Granth/collection?

I understand that searches could take longer because of this, but it would prove to be useful for those who many not know, for example, that a particular Shabad is Dasam Banee.

Or, perhaps, the action of wiping the search bar when changing sources could be changed so that if a search of SGGS yielded no results, changing the source would automatically use what's typed into the search bar.

Great work!
 

The data sources have been optimized to provide efficient search response times, due to this and encoding differences between data, such as unicode and ascii, a "single search all" feature would require multiple threads to load into memory, slowing the application down.

We have to keep in mind, that the platform and environment is that of a mobile device, so restrictions will apply. I do wish we had the power of a true 32bit/64bit OS, with hyper-threading support, then we wouldn't have these boundaries.

Thank you for the explanation. I can understand the limitations there, but what about the suggestion to not wipe the text entry field and instead do the auto-search when changing the source?

Great work!
