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...
I asked MS about it and they know about it https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/fixes-or-workarounds-for-recent-issues-in-onedrive-36110213-f3f6-490d-8cb7-3833539def0b?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US It's extremely frustrating that they can break something that worked, and take 2 months and counting to have no idea how long they need to restore it.
hn_GBThanks for notifying me on this issue. Yes, it's indeed frustrating. Also as Microsoft points out, searching from one's computer (desktop/laptop) is not a workaround. I have TB's of data in my OneDrive and I don't maintain any indexes in my computer. I always rely on Onedrive's Mobile/Web interfaces and it's indexing service for my search queries.
Is there any progress in this error? I'm having the same problem on onedrive web and one drive app on ios.
Is there realy so many months no good search on Onedrive??
