Search feature #18

I noticed the search feature is absent in this fork. Was this a privacy decision or to keep it simple? Would it be something you'd consider adding in the future?

Search and other features were absent only due to self-interest. It was my first time doing any Android work and I knew what I wanted in the app, so I stripped everything else off.

I don't have much time to do development but if anyone else wants to put in a search function, it should be quite possible to do it in a way that's efficient and does not connect to the network. I'd happily provide any advice, especially regarding the way to index the sqlite database efficiently for search as I expect this would need to be redone and I spent some time on that.
