The search function in the top left doesn't return any results. It used to return results if the given search term appeared in either a file name or the body of a file.

    I get the same problem recurring. Onedrive search will work for a while, then it will quit. And boy, when it quits, it really quits. All devices. Productivity comes to a crawl if not a complete standstill. What a cluster mess, if you get the intended French.

    You're right. MS don't give a ****. Theyre not interested. Surely someone will come up with a cloud storage with a search function that works. Then we can all leave Onedrive en mass

    Best fix is to find a different cloud provider. I tried support over 5 years ago and my search in One drive is still broken - and I'm a paid subscriber.
