No Spotlight results for folders on Dropbox with Sequoia
Since I upgraded to Sequoia 15.1 on my Mac, folders and documents on Dropbox are no longer shown. What can I do?

Dropbox StaffHi aroberts, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you clarify exactly what you're experiencing on your machine when attempting to search? Are you doing the search from within the Dropbox folder in Finder?
Do you have the Dropbox Backup feature enabled?
Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
Search function on Mac Sequoia 15.1 immediately defaults to "This Mac", finds the folder on Dropbox in the thread, but doesn't actually search the Dropbox heading without leaving the Dropbox search heading.
I don't because I actually have all of my files on Dropbox, with many of them exclusively on Dropbox to save space on my computer. I solved the issue with Spotlight not searching Dropbox by eliminating Dropbox from the permissions for search and then re-adding it. This caused the computer to re-index the files on Dropbox and the issue was solved.
