OneDrive search not working

In my case, I sync all my data with OneDrive, including things like template paths (Office) and project files (Scrivener). Moving all of that to a different directory would have a major impact on the applications using those paths. And my experience with OneDrive resync is that it takes days to resync everything, and OneDrive will attempt to resync everything after a move as described. So the only way I'd dare do this would be while keeping the sync with my local system disabled, and after the move-index-move, I still expect that OneDrive will attempt a full local resync.

This may be a workable workaround for a small dataset, but with 30GB, including the contents of my NAS, I'm not so sure this is feasible, and shudder to think of the impact it might have. (OP)

I found a solution for my problem. My search died again a few weeks ago. Most of

The documents I search for are in one directory and its subdirectories. I renamed the directory and then renamed it back to the original name. This seemed to trigger a reindexing and everything went back to normal.

I'm on 365 (and paying for the privilege of having an app not working and no help).

I've given up on MS 365. The support they offer is rubbish. Ive been raising this issue for a long time and the responses from MS have been weak to say the least. Other posts suggest this has been a problem for years. MS don't have the skills to fix and keep asking me the same questions over and over. When I reply, I often get an email from them telling me I haven't responded and they're closing their file.

Not wasting any more time on them. I'm going to source a different cloud storage and do my homework first to see what users think of it before migrating across

Microsoft just remove the search function if you can't figure it out to work!!!
