Hi ScottyK, let's jump right into this!
Do you use a specific platform when searching for that file? (website, mobile app, desktop app)
Provided that you're on our website, would you try switching browsers just to check if this is a browser-related issue, or using an incognito mode, and then trying again?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

I was reading that Dropbox doesn’t allow me to serve web pages. Perhaps this is why it won’t include the index.html file in the search results.
I printed the index.html file to PDF and Dropbox does include the PDF file in the search results.
