Allow search for files in the current folder instead of searching files in all folders onedrive.

Wanted to provide an update here: this is something we’re planning on doing, but don’t have a timeframe to share yet

"In the Plans" really? Wow, It's over a year and OD search still is one of the worst.

I can't believe that I can't search within the current folder. This is a major flaw and very dissapointing

Auto correct and spell check do not work efficiently, this is a very basic function that adds time to every email - very frustrating not to feature in the web version of Outlook 365.
It is also very frustrating that you cannot search alphabetically within files, instead you have to scroll down until you find the right file.

Its beyond funny not being able to search a specific folder since 2015.

Could not agree more. When it comes to time and productivity, the ability to search an individual folder is critical.

This is a week's work at the most. Go with the high demand and do it, Can.

I still don't see a way to search particular folders in OneDrive. This is the single most maddening thing about OneDrive for me!

I agree: this critical feature is taking WAY too long to implement.

You were 'thinking about it' in 2016,
and 'planing on doing' in 2018................
Can you please provide 'folder specific search', before OneDrive is replaced by something new?!!! ;) -

it works for me on onedrive for business as part of an Office365 subscription using Microsoft KQL ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/keyword-query-language-kql-syntax-reference ). For example enter in the query field:
filename:pass*.html

Isn't this the most basic expectation of any file management system? How can it not have been done after 4 years!

"Thinking about it" in 2016; "planning on doing" in 2018; still nothing. Not having such a BASIC functionality in a cloud-based folder management system is unreal.

Unbelievable that you can't do such a basic function

Wow. I was forced to go to onedrive and immediately discovered this searching limitation and see this 4 year old trail of requests. This is a major failing and I will be telling my organization of this major failing as a reason not to stop transferring files to onedrive.

I'm currently wasting hours of productivity with global search when a simple folder search would be much faster. Please put as much resources as possible on providing this feature.
