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.

    more than 18 months since original post and just a week since the last one and this is still an issue?!

    Same, Same Same times 9 pages of posts and 322 comments and no useful answer?

    How lame that in 2020 a file sharing and access features lacks basic reliable search functionality.  

    Unbelievable.

    Wow.

    Please tell me I missed something.

    I was never a fan of 365 but I am at a new company any everything I need is on a shared  one drive but I am relegated to alphabetically scrolling through file name hunting for information.  

    I can not even wrap my head around this.

    The problem is there for years. Even when using OneDrive for business. I gave up waiting for the fix. Pity, because integration with Office 365 is really cool.
