OneDrive search not working

Yes, it’s annoying but the solution is simple i.e. create a new high-level folder and drag all files into it, then after a while reverse the procedure. Notwithstanding this fix, it would be better for Microsoft to address the problem rather requiring OneDrive users to develop workarounds.

It's now 2022, and this is still a problem. You can literally look at a file name that has a string, then search for the file, and OneDrive will not return any results. Absolutely ridiculous.

I find this really frustrating, l have 12k of pdfs and l cannot search them properly. One Drive not fit for purpose. In fact, its useless for my needs. For any other product you buy you have the ability to complian directly with the supplier, but where MS l have no recourse, other than to rely on other helpful users. This is not satisfactory. Thanks to all who responded to this post though.

Microsoft, if you are monitoring these posts please act now and sort this issue, with a reindex capability for personal users or globally reindex more frequently. I say again the service you are providingis not fit for purpose.

My url? Not sure what that would be. I access OneDrive via a personal license on Microsoft 365.

Or is this a solution for enterprise customers only?

That said, a "Reindex site" might be a useful addition to the OneDrive web client and mobile apps, if you're listening Microsoft.

Great, but this is just a workaround where Microsoft should provide a real fix where users should don't need to take action.
