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.

    Search is again workin from IE and Android... It took Microsoft only a year to fix it (at least for some of us).

    It's been nearly two years since this major issue was posted here, and still no fix. I dropped my DropBox account a couple months ago which I've had for years in favor of OneDrive (since I found it was included with my Office sub), and now find that I can't search at all. For anything. That's absolutely ridiculous!

    OneDrive search is working in Windows 10 (version 1909) and also in Windows 10 (version 20H2)

    How to check your Windows version …

    Step 1: 

    Press the⊞Win+R keys together.

    Step 2:

    Type winver (and hit Enter  … or …  press OK) 

    If you're using an earlier Windows version, update it.
