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.

2020-05-05T20:11:10+00:00 I had this issue in 2019, then I switched to competitor. Payed for Office 365 in 2020 with "let's give them a chance, Office is cool, the cloud must be fixed already". Mistake. Can't find the documents by name, can't find the documents by content, sometimes a re-upload helps, sometimes re-upload doesn't help. What the gosh is happening to Microsoft :/ This is a no go. All the workarounds like "try to search on your desktop" don't help, I don't carry my desktop everywhere I go. And I can't index the files locally on my phone.

I would like to receive what I paid Microsoft for.

2020-04-30T15:39:21+00:00 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.
