Default search settings for mobile app.
Currently when searching files on the Dropbox app (iPhone), I must also select a file type. If I don’t, my search returns unfiltered results of every type of file I have stored in my Dropbox account....

Thank you Megan. I do want to make sure it's understood that there also seems to be something wonky with the filters. I can send the screen shot video I mentioned in my post if it helps. But I would like it to also be known that search results on the mobile app do not do an accurate job of filtering results in order of most relevant.
In the video I made, one can see that the first 30 or so items in the search results don't even have the word "Caesar" or even "salad" in the filename. And only half of them are even images of salads. It would seem to me that even if the document settings were set to "all", my "Caesar Salad" Word doc file should still have been the first item in the search results simply because it is most relevant by file name.
There doesn't seem to be a way for me to attach a file to this message; if the little 17 second video I made would be helpful, please let me know how I can send it and I'll be happy to do so. The file size is 34MB.
Thanks for your help!
