Make search by file or foldername easy again, and allow us to set default sort to Modified date

[bbsqared49]

Dropbox search used to be pretty quick, where you could enter a few words in the file or folder name you were looking for and it would find it.

Once it started sorting by Relevance by default, old and very irrelevant results would go to the top, but with one click you could set it to be sorted by date and find your file.

But now that search looks inside files, the results are crowded by hundreds of results that you're not looking for. It's made search almost impossible for me, unless I do extra clicks that sort or filter the results. I don't have time to do this every time I simply need to find my file.

I'm suggesting for the Dropbox search:

1) Sort by filedate by default. Let people click Relevance if they want to sort by that.

2) Search inside files should be a checkbox that we can uncheck, or is unchecked by default. Let us choose to search inside files (and look through hundreds of results)
