OneDrive search not working

Thanks for this, will defo give this a try.

I've finally accepted that MS are incompetent and simply can't fix their own software. Try to get them to do something about it was doing my head in.

So I decided to give up on MS and find an acceptable solution myself. This is what I've come up with and it works a treat. It finds every file I search for.

On windows, I downloaded a free app called 'Everything'. Direct the search to the OneDrive directory and it does what it's name suggests and finds everything

On my Android phone I use 'Samsung My Files'. The search function also finds everything after directing it to the OneDrive directory.

I now have confidence I can search Onedrive and find what I'm looking for. No thanks to MS.

hello

I have been having trouble with my one drive I share with my accountant. I put the amount of an invoice in the name line but have been having trouble for them to be found in a search. when I look they are there but the search is not finding them in the name line. What can I do. it is causing issues for me and the accountant to find a file when we need to verify it.

can you help?

Hi,
Everything is the best tool to search anything but only on PC(s) where you synchronize ALL your stuff from t cloud to your local hard drive.

But, when you try to access your One drive through the web (on your mobile , or from another PC) you are forced to use the awful Microsoft search ..

Thanks these tips l will defo try these. Thank you 😊
