So it's actually started working now.
Perhaps it was a delay in indexing at Dropbox side?

Actually search capability is the biggest pet peave I have with Paper and it might be the reason why I switch to another platform.
Sadly, I'm probably one of the most passionate users of Paper - I mean, I converted soooooo many people to it (I work with different teams and I INSIST on having them use it), I literally copy paste 99% of things I read to Paper so I can read in Paper rather than in even browsers, so it's naturally, it's become my 2nd brain. I'd like it to stay my "2nd brain" but it won't unless search capability is improved. If I know that more results should come up for whatever I'm searching for, then I'm not relying on Paper, if anything I'm seeing that Paper fails me.
Also, another indication that search capability is not a priority for Paper is the size and location of the search bar. Having it peripherally positioned makes it very very painful to search for anything.
Anyway, INVEST in search, guys!
