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.

    RTipton12 - I did exactly the same thing. I ended up having to go back to dropbox because the search in OneDrive is absolutely useless. I've been monitoring this thread for a while hoping that there would be a fix. I also was in contact with MS support, but they said they needed to elevate the issue, and I haven't heard back from them for months, even after asking about the status.

    I now pay for Google Drive despite getting 1.3 TB OneDrive at no cost to me.

    Thanks. It's bloody frustrating. How have you found the search functionality in Google Drive?

    It’s exactly what it should be for file name and contents search.  For clarity I have gsuite account.
