I've tried multiple browsers on multiple computers. I can access all of my files on Dropbox dot com, but I'm unable to search for any terms. When I enter a term and press "Enter," nothing happens. The URL updates to reflect the search term, but nothing changes on the website. Not even "no results." I'm just still staring at my default folder layout. Anyone else experiencing this or have any fix ideas?

Hey buddyboy101, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you searching from the 'all files' or 'home' page?
Would you mind sharing a screenshot or better, a screen recording of this, so we can have a better look?
Just make sure you hide any personal info.
Thanks!

Having the same problem here. When searching from either "Home" or "All files".
Have tried different browsers, all exhibit the same behavior.

Same. I have tried in the folder, main screen, photos tab. Nothing happens. You put the tag in it auto populates a comma at the end. Hit enter and nothing changes. Click on the magnifying glass, nothing happens.
