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...

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?

      I'm experiencing this same problem from both my personal data via onedrive.live.com using Chrome and from by Android phone's OneDrive app.  Search ONLY finds files with that have the search text in their names. I hunted for something in the Android and online OneDrive configuration settings and came up empty. I have a LOT of files and no good way to find what I'm looking for.

        Unfortunately, same problem - thinking to move some core data to other providers Ihanescreennamesmore

        Some problem here... everything was working fine a couple of months ago... now can’t search nothing except filenames.

        🤔
