Global Search is a single search field for the things on your phone that you would otherwise dig through menus to reach. The developer, HeyTap, describes it as a way to find content faster, and the listing is built around six kinds of result: apps, contacts, files, settings, notes and calendar entries.
You bring it up with a swipe down on the home screen, type part of what you want, and pick a result from the list. It suits anyone who keeps a lot on the phone and would rather type a few letters than open each app to look.
The build we hold is Global Search 16.19.0 (APK) for Android 8.0 and up.

Type an app's name and Global Search opens it if it is installed. If the app is not on the phone, the same search takes you to its page in the app store, so you can install it from there.
This works as a launcher for apps you use rarely, since you do not need to scroll through home screens or the app drawer to reach them.
Contacts can be found by a full name or by a partial phone number, which is useful when you remember only the last few digits of a number. Notes come up when you enter a keyword that appears in them.
For the calendar, enter an event title and the app lists matching entries, which lets you check when something is scheduled without opening the calendar and scrolling through dates.
Enter keywords and Global Search looks through stored documents, images, videos, music and other file types. This covers files spread across folders, so you can find something by its name or a word in it without knowing where you saved it.
Because the search reads file names and keywords rather than opening each file, it is aimed at quick retrieval of something you already have.
Type the name of a function, such as "Sound", and Global Search opens the matching settings page directly. This skips the step of working through the settings menu to find the right category.
It is most useful when you know the feature you want to change but not which group it sits under.
