AI Search in Huawei PC Manager allows you to quickly search for local files on your computer, or files on a connected phone. The search results can be intelligently classified and viewed with just a click.

If your computer is connected to a storage device (such as a USB flash drive or portable hard disk), AI Search is not supported for files in the storage device.

Prerequisites:

• This feature requires Huawei PC Manager 11.1 or a later version. Update PC Manager to the latest version when necessary.

• This feature is available only on certain models. Go to the official website for the supported models.

Detailed operations:

1. Open Huawei PC Manager on your computer, go to My devices > My phone > CONNECT, and follow the onscreen instructions to connect your phone to the computer.
    

   • If you want to search for files on other devices, go to step 1.
   • If you only wish to search for local files on the computer, skip step 1 and go to step 2.

   

2. Open the AI Search window in either of the following ways:
   • Method 1: Using shortcut keys

     Press Ctrl+Alt+Q on the keyboard at the same time.
