Arrr! The Google Files app be a clever treasure chest o' sorts, usin' its advanced algorithms to scrounge up the very text and objects ye be seekin'! It be makin' document management and sharin' a breeze, maties!

The Files by Google app is a helpful tool for managing and sharing documents, photos, and other data on Android devices. Now, with the Smart Search feature, users can find text and objects in images and documents, including PDF files, on their devices. This feature is especially useful for those who can't remember the exact file name but can recall an image or similar words in the document or photo they are looking for. Instead of scrolling for hours, users can simply type in keywords or objects related to the photo or file they are searching for, saving them time and effort.

Smart Search uses an advanced algorithm to scan files in the background of the device, ensuring both device performance and privacy. It only scans within the device itself and does not share any information outside of it. However, there are some limitations to Smart Search, such as the need for a few days for it to "learn" the files on the device and include them in search results. Additionally, Smart Search may not be available to all users.

If users are concerned about the app's access to personal data and its impact on privacy and security, they have the option to turn off Smart Search, although this will limit their search capabilities to file names only. Overall, Smart Search on the Files by Google app is a useful tool for making files searchable and easily accessible on Android devices.
