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 have medical files that I need. Search does not work in one drive. Accessing the file in round about way does not allow for editing. I have contacted Microsoft, received help, but no solution.

    Welcome to the world of 'Microsoft doesn't care'. This has been an issue for years and Microsoft do nothing about it. It just doesn't work as its supposed to. Like you, I know a file exists, yet Inedrive doesn't find it in a search. Im just waiting till I have time and motivated enough to research the alternatives at which time I'll be done with Microsoft. Sorry I don't have a fix for you but there isn't one. Its just a crappy product produced by a company that's so big it just doesn't care less if a few of its customers leave them

    OneDrive search in Office 365 does not function for me. Ex: I am looking for a file in Recent. I know the file's name. I am looking at it. I type it into search. Nothing happens.  Thoughts? Am I missing the obvious? In other words, it does not behave as described in the answers to this thread. 

    I do find that I spend a great deal of valuable time trying to get Office 365 apps to function.
