OneDrive search not working

hello

I have been having trouble with my one drive I share with my accountant. I put the amount of an invoice in the name line but have been having trouble for them to be found in a search. when I look they are there but the search is not finding them in the name line. What can I do. it is causing issues for me and the accountant to find a file when we need to verify it.

can you help?

Yes, this probably is business plan and up. I don't know how to do it on my personal OneDrive.

I agree, a "Reindex Site" button on the web page and app may be an easy workaround for what could be a complex problem to them.

I a similar problem. I renamed a folder which used to bring back pdfs based on the file name, but now it doesn't except very recent file uploads. I think it's an indexing problem, but in the meantime searching using the one Drive app for older files is useless.

EDIT:

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!! ALL I HAD TO DO WAS WAIT HALF A DAY!!!!!

After I moved all directories into the ALL folder, I thought it will be done in minutes, I check and checked the search still wasn't working half an hour in, at that point I gave up already, I came back half a day later the search is back!!!!! on the web and on my android phone!!!! THANKS SO MUCH SCOTT YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER

Sorry I hate to report after moving all my files into the new ALL folder my search still hasn't come back

I did it over my desktop can it be a problem?

HEY, EVERYBODY: HERE'S THE SOLUTION!

Thanks, Glenn. It worked for me too, though my procedure is a bit different. (I have a bunch of directories in my OneDrive.)

Here's what I did:

1. Created a new folder named ALL in my OneDrive directory.
2. Moved all of my other directories into the ALL folder.
3. Waited a few minutes, and then tried searching for various files using my iPad's OneDrive app.
4. Once it was clear that all of my files and directories were searchable, I moved everything back out of the ALL folder and into the main OneDrive folder.

Before I performed this workaround, my OneDrive apps were able to find new files, or files that had been moved or renamed—but nothing else. None of my other files or directories would generate search results.

With my workaround, I effectively moved ALL of my files and directories to a new location (and then moved them back). In the process, the index was fixed.

What a piece of garbage. 5 years and they still can't fix this problem. Does anyone have another app that will work better so I can delete this terrible service that I pay monthly for
