How do I find my Form again
You can always access your form through the link https://forms.office.com/Pages/DesignPageV2.aspx?subpage=design&id=<your_form_id>. To find your form from the Forms portal, log in with your work account to https://forms.office.com/Pages/DesignPageV2.aspx and look under the 'Recent', 'My forms', and 'My groups' tabs, as well as in the 'Recycle bin'. If you can't find it there, you may create the form with your personal account, log out of your work account and log in with your personal account on the portal, and search again.
As a user, I don't have time to search for documents I created on different sites (forms, sharepoint, etc.). The "cloud" should be a "singular" concept when it comes to a provider (Microsoft). Searches should just be easy.

You can say it's by design as forms are not stored in OneDrive/SharePoint, and we don't share this information with them. I usually search for my forms through www.office.com. It's quite convenient for me, as I can search for almost any files that I recently worked on in M365 through it.- Academic_UserFeb 01, 2024Copper Contributor
DingkunXie In my case, it's https://www.microsoft365.com/ (http://www.office.com wants me to log in again, so I don't think it's the right way for my university account). Anway "by design" is a strange thing for me. A good design means it's easy to use. Going to m365 and searching for my "filled forms" (even by their name) won't show anything. The advanced search allows me to tick boxes for Powerpoint, Word, Excel etc. files, but "filled forms" is not one.
I have to go to "forms.office.com" to find them. So, I'd say Forms aren't yet fully integrated into the M365 cloud if you can't find them at the top level. "By design" means to me there's some other reasons (internal to Microsoft?).
Thanks again for helping.
