OneDrive search not working

HEY, EVERYBODY: HERE'S THE SOLUTION!

Thanks, Glenn. It worked for me too, though my procedure is a bit different. (I have a bunch of directories in my OneDrive.)

Here's what I did:

1. Created a new folder named ALL in my OneDrive directory.
2. Moved all of my other directories into the ALL folder.
3. Waited a few minutes, and then tried searching for various files using my iPad's OneDrive app. (Others report having to wait a few hours before search begins to work again.)
4. Once it was clear that all of my files and directories were searchable, I moved everything back out of the ALL folder and into the main OneDrive folder.

Before I performed this workaround, my OneDrive apps were able to find new files, or files that had been moved or renamed—but nothing else. None of my other files or directories would generate search results.

With my workaround, I effectively moved ALL of my files and directories to a new location (and then moved them back). In the process, the index was fixed.

I am having a similinar problem when I try do seach a file by the name in at on drive on line search option. Prior to this problem I was able to seach files by the name and suggestions were made.

I found a solution for my problem. My search died again a few weeks ago. Most of

The documents I search for are in one directory and its subdirectories. I renamed the directory and then renamed it back to the original name. This seemed to trigger a reindexing and everything went back to normal.

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
