I'm new to Foxtrot Search and pretty happy with it thus far.

I have several pools of files each with their own index. On macOS, I can select multiple indexes and search across all of them at the same time which is very helpful.

How do I do this on iOS using FT Attache? It looks like I can only select one index at a time.

Hello,

Contrary to FoxTrot Professional, FoxTrot Attaché only searches one index at a time.

Regards,

Okay. How can I request that searching multiple indexes be added to FoxTrot Attache?

Hello,

You can request it (you did) but we cannot do it for structural reasons in the architecture of Attaché.

There could be a work-around: create a separate bigger index containing the directories from your multiple indices, then categorize results by the sub-directories. I know this is not perfect but it's the best we've got.
