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

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

This is a critical feature request. Please expedite.

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

Search files in a specific folder.
Much needed and asked for feature. -

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.

Typical Microsoft. 4+ years later, they still haven't implemented a feature they should never have launched without. Potential users beware! Other cloud providers offer this basic functionality. I can only assume the developers of OneDrive must use a different cloud storage system themselves, or they would be too frustrated and just fix it.

Please implement this very basic feature asap. Makes OneDrive very impractical for work.

It's always nice when a company thinks it's good to implement something their customers wanted/needed 3.5 years ago.

Our legal department needs to be able to search for folder names in addition to document names WITHIN a specific folder - not across all of their content. It shocks me that this is something which was reported as long ago as 2015 and has not been implemented, let alone slated for development.
