OneDrive Search File Contents

OneDrive is no longer searching file contents. I used to get search results from file contents before but all of a sudden it's showing results only if it matches the filename. What could be the issue...

csnarain How are you running the search? Via the web client? On a mobile device? Or are you relying on desktop sync (Windows or Mac)?

 

Have you tried any of the standard trouble shooting steps?

      Any help on this? I'm still not able to search any file contents. Only filenames. No clue on what's going on.

        Can you tell us a little more about your set-up.  I'm guessing that you're using OneDrive for Business with the Modern interface?

    Have you find any solution for that other than moving into Google drive? 

    Thanks.

      That’s it, you got it perfectly right. I’ve moved to Google Drive already.
      Cheers!
