Search with keywords within documents in One Drive

Question

I would like to search keywords in OneDrive within documents. Now it shows only results matching the keyword with the filenames in OneDrive. Is there a setting somewhere to activate this search option?

Try this:
&nbsp;

Go to the OneDrive website&nbsp;and sign in to your account.
Navigate to the folder&nbsp;where you want to search for the keyword.
Click on the search bar&nbsp;located at the top of the page.
Type in the keyword&nbsp;that you want to search for and press enter.

This doesn't work. It only finds the keyword in titles and not inside documents. It used to be possible to do this but now it seems not to work anymore. Rather defeats the whole purpose of one drive for me.
