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.

    Hi. Did you solve the Search issue. I have identical problem and not getting anywhere near solving

    I'm afraid I don't know. The specific example of a file I couldn't find by searching has been solved. But it's hard to verify that search results are now complete; I'd have to try and find every one of my files to see if it can be found. I'll have to wait and see if I find another search issue.

    ETA: A series of random searches gave the expected results in all cases but one. In the one case, I did not find the file, but after I'd browsed to its location online, the search did give the result. As if OneDrive hadn't yet indexed the folder, but did index it the moment I opened the folder online.

    These requests WERE WORKING -

       They were, they were...

           A OneDrive root-index must have had, and has issues,

      These were working - yes they were

         Have a nice day...
