Search dropbox pdf contents on ipad

[freak99]

I have a ton of pdf files stored in dropbox folders. These are indexed on my iMac, where I can search through the contents of individual pdf files. However, I can't seem to find a way to do this on my iPad.

Dropbox only offers pdf searching on business accounts, and there is a minimum three user license required for those accounts, which I don't need. Is there an app that might accomplish what I need? I know Evernote does pdf searching, but it doesn't really fit my workflow.

Also, while I'm at it: Is there any way to browse my dropbox files in finder on OS X without downloading them all automatically? I don't really need every single file on my hard drive, but I also don't want to browse files using the dropbox website.

Thanks

Try 'Filebrowser'. This is a file manager app. Should help out as can sort by file type.

Can't you just use the iPad or iPhone universal search, like this?

Dropbox results come up right away for me...

I need contents search not file name.

Documents by Readdle can search the contents of iCloud files, but I'm not sure about Dropbox.
