OneDrive search not working

I'm having the same issue. The folder has 100 plus documents with the word permit but when searching permit - all files - states NO ITEMS MATCH YOUR SEARCH.  

1. I've tried removing shared files and having source reshare.
2. File shared with me allows me to edit.  
3. Another person has the same shared file and same issue - when searching states nothing matches.

I've been having this problem for over a month and no one seems to be able to help us.  

Can someone please look into this, maybe go into our account and visual look for yourselves to possibly find the issue. ?

I experience exactly the same problem. It seems like some files are indexed and some are not.

All files are visible and searchable on my pc but not on the web or in the app for ios.

Have the same problem

I experience exactly the same problem.

I can't search using filenames.

I've upload nearly 327 Go of files (mostly photos) and the funny thing is: my photos have been tagged automatically, whereas I can't using the filename to find a file :-(.

I agree that the extension is ".xlsx", but the search should find it as "finance.xls" exists.

Example below.

Having the same issue. Uploaded some 12GB of files to my OneDrive (migrated from Dropbox), gave it a month (if any indexing needed to be done), but still the Search Everything box stubbornly remains the most misleadingly named feature of OneDrive Online.

I can search by name for a file that I know with absolute certainty is in my OneDrive, and not have it pop up in the search results. I can even browse to the folder containing the file, scroll so that the file is visible in the UI, and search for its name; still it doesn't show in the search results. Until it suddenly does, sometimes.

This is not a browser or caching issue. I keep Internet Explorer and Edge "clean" (use Chrome only), and the problem occurs in all browsers, also InPrivate/Incognito. It's like OneDrive doesn't index everything, or indexes horribly slowly.

Just now, I searched for a filename "Ordnerruggen", which is clearly visible in a folder in my OneDrive. The file wasn't returned. Then I made a screenshot of the issue to post to UserVoice, saved the screenshot to my Desktop (also synced with OneDrive), and now the screenshot shows up as a search result (thanks to OCR, I suppose; the filename is visible in the screenshot). But the file itself still doesn't show up in the search results.

So OCR-ing a screenshot is near-instantaneous, but indexing filenames takes months? That's ridiculous!
