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.

    The full text search for OneDrive still does not work reliably, more that 15 months after the original post on this thread.

    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.

    Hi Tria,

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

    Regarding "The search function in the top left ", do you mean OneDrive online? If so, according to my test, I can search my files normally:

     

    To check if this issue is related to browser cache, please sign out your Office account then clear cache then sign in again to see the outcome. If you still can't use get any result on the search box, to check if this issue is related to your browser, please use other browsers to see the outcome.

    Besides, please also share with me more info as below to let me have a better understanding of your scenario:

    1. Screenshot of your result page.
    2. Does this issue happen to all files even newly added items or only related ones?
    3. Can you search your files via the following URL? https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/search/

    Regards,

    Neo
