A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
Today (June 26, 2020) the OneDrive search is no longer working! Yesterday it worked well.

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.

2020-05-05T20:11:10+00:00 I had this issue in 2019, then I switched to competitor. Payed for Office 365 in 2020 with "let's give them a chance, Office is cool, the cloud must be fixed already". Mistake. Can't find the documents by name, can't find the documents by content, sometimes a re-upload helps, sometimes re-upload doesn't help. What the gosh is happening to Microsoft :/ This is a no go. All the workarounds like "try to search on your desktop" don't help, I don't carry my desktop everywhere I go. And I can't index the files locally on my phone.

I would like to receive what I paid Microsoft for.
