I'm also having problems with the One Drive app search - I can see the files in the app if I manually browse the folders, but they are not appearing when I search for them or check the "Recents" tab.
Microsoft told me they fixed the problem. I tried the Search function and it seems to be working ok now.
No, this problem is not fixed, it's an embarrassing failure. I'm a software developer, MCT, and have taught Microsoft courses for 25 years, and I'm familiar with the inner workings of Office365 search. Please Microsoft sort this out, I hear complaints about it all the time.
I agree. We just signed up for office 365 to work from home because of the virus.
It just doesn't work searching with the number of files our company has.
Interestingly, our two administrator accounts can search, just no one else.
Is this a permissions problem then?

I migrated all my Dropbox files and downgraded to their free plan. Just realized I can't do a simple search. I've read through this thread and it has me wondering if the issue has been completely dropped. I really don't want to go back to Dropbox.
