Increase the filetypes considered in full text search
Today's Dropbox web and Desktop interfaces for full search support just certain filetypes (.doc .docx .docm .gdoc .gsheet .jpg .paper .papert .pdf .png .ppt .pptx .pptm .gif .gslide .rtf .tiff .txt ....
simonDBX Thank you for you for your quick response. If you are going to consider certain extensions I would suggest to include the following four filetypes corresponding to LaTeX system: .bib, .tex, .bbl, .bak
You could consider also to test which files that are technically identical to .txt and proceed with the full text search within them in the same way as is done with the .txt files. This feature can be considered controversial as long as a more powerful search engine (advanced search option) is NOT provided by Dropbox as it can result in too many non-relevant files (work and temporary files) found.
