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 the same issue. I'm trying to search for a file by the name. Older files I've uploaded to OneDrive are showing up in the search, but any files I've uploaded in the last 4 months are not. The file is clearly there though.

    Hi Neo,

    I am experiencing a similar issue, but is more related to files that have been shared with me.  IE the search works perfectly on my files, however does not include any results for files shared with me.  We are using Office 365 with a sports club, and using Office to share thee club records with committee members.

    Thanks

    Jody

    Hi Tria, 

    Can you search your files normally now? Do you still need any help? 

    Regards,
