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 fear the lunatics are in charge of the asylum. I mean, the bots are the only thing left in Microsoft Tech support.

    No, it's not. It doesn't work for many many users in both of those versions.

    Fabruary 2021, 

    OneDrive search is still not working.   How can such an essential feature remain unattended for such a long time.  Somebody please get Nadella on the phone. 

    I give them credit for improving in so many other areas,  but for god sake,  this is structural to the core functionality of the rest of the suite. 

    I had to move to Google drive,  ugly but smart ....

    With amazement I have been reading this thread about the Onedrive search not working after more than a year of people complaining. I just switched from Google Drive to Office 365 and I am beginning to dearly regret it. It cost me a lot of time to migrate my files, and now the results the search on Android is returning are very unreliable or non-existing at all. Unbelievable one has to pay for this desaster.

    The conclusion is that I will have to return to Google Drive at least for a part of my files. Thanks MS!
