Dropbox StaffHi wbraswell, thanks for messaging the Community!
This thread was closed as it was rather old.
Regarding your query, are you not able to search for filenames on your account? What error are you getting?
Does searching in the Dropbox desktop application help at all?
This will help me to assist further!
Hi Jay,
I only have access to the Dropbox.com web interface.
When I use the Dropbox search feature, it searches both the filenames and also the file contents, and then randomly combines the results, thereby rendering the final results unusable. This is the same serious issue that @petholla mentioned in the original thread from 2019, and it still needs to be fixed after all these years.
Can you please tell me, when does Dropbox intend to fix this issue?
Thanks,
~ Will

Thanks for the input, currently there isn't any information on this matter.
If you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future.

How and why did my change suggestion get merged back into this discussion thread???
