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

This is so painful not having this feature and DropBox has even implemented this functionality “Open in Folder”.
This thread is about web but we need this in mobile app as well, i.e. iOS.

microsoft is a company stuck in the 80s, and the only thing it can do is buying (or more often copy) other's ideas

Idea provided initally in September 2015, update last provided by OD indicating that this was in the works in December 2018.. Now August 2020... Any news to provide?
It's a little frustrating that this isn't already standard.

Dear Microsoft,
Please make searching within a Folder possible (From phone app) instead of only being able to search all of drive! That is a complete fail for business!

And more search options, like search by keywords, date, file type or combinations of them.

How about manually entered date ranges instead of a crappy slider with zero specificity?
Or the option to ONLY search file names? (this would speed up searches of large file collections significantly) A simple checkbox or radio button like:
[] Include file contents in search
[] Search file name onlyOr why do the sort-function-capable headers scroll away when I scroll through the results?
Anything I can do in Windows File Explorer searches, I should be able to do in OneDrive.
Why is the interface different from Windows 10 File Explorer at all?

Come on! Let's do this! A user MUST be able to control search parameters!

I have been building my entire cloud experience around Onedrive and without this feature I will have to revisit Dropbox or GoogleDrive. It absolutely defeats the purpose of cloud storage if you must sync massive amounts of files with your PC in order to be able to use your PC's search feature within folders.

It's also frustrating that I cannot search files modified or created within a certain time frame when I've forgotten the name of the file. This is basic stuff! Don;t move us forward into a new technology if you're just going to make it worse than the old technology!

We just started using O365 at work. I was excited but then I realized that their online software is a joke!! I've used Google and Open Office in previous jobs and they are all free cut down versions of real software. They are missing vital functionality in all their online products and are not concerned with improving anything.

Wow! 4.5 years after the original request to have a VERY basic search function, and nothing.

Why hasn't this been implemented yet? W/ Covid going on I am having to work from home and use the OneDrive for Business web app. How can a web service not allow you to parameterize your search by location? Large amounts of files / folders make the search function useless in a scenario when it should be at it's peak usefulness.

Any update on this? Jeez, its 2020, why can't we search by folder and order by type?
