We would like to be able to lock the sorting settings of files in folders? If we sort the folders based on A-Z the files inside the folders swap to Z-A. We would want them to be fully independent from each other.

Currently, you can only search by file/folder name, and there is a risk of restoring the wrong target if there are files with the same name.
(In Japanese)　
　現在は、ファイル名/フォルダ名でしか検索することが出来ず、同名ファイルがある場合に誤った対象を復元するリスクがあります。

Boolean search should generate results as part of type ahead query. Today, we can search for "text AND text2", but it will not generate results until the user submits the full query. This would improve usability.

A feature I've wanted many times now, and would love to see implemented, is to be able to search through my files with the filter of Date Created (regarding the creation date of the file in its metadata), not just the date of when I uploaded the file.

Please add a function to Box that can search the execution status of tasks under a specific folder.

We would like an option to enable the full search functionality for a specific folder

Please add Comments to the Search Index. This will make comments more useful and widen the scope of applicable use cases.

As legal department, we manage contract documents using tag but when we search files filtering with them, user experience is not intuitive when I follow steps described below.

1. search a keyword filtering with tag
2. change the keyword on search box
3. filter for tag set in 1 is reset and disappeared

Also, we would like to search file filtering with tag without any keywords in the search box as populating keyword is currently a must to start to search unlike Metadata, which is also inconvenient.

Suggestions for improvements : search field for users (external or managed) should look for characters. For instance , if you type a domain name or name, you should be able to filter the (external or managed) users list according to the characters entered into the search field and look into both the name and email info if the characters can be found. We don't always know the exact email or name...

Currently the initial search for Box items can be filtered by only three types of contents, then you can squeeze the first search results with more detailed filters, like tags or size etc.
It would be better to be able to use those detailed filters from the beginning.

Suggest adding the ability to disable full-text search for only a subset of Box content versus just enterprise-wide.

When a search is executed in the browser, it is not possible to open a file in the search on another tab. The only option available seemingly is to open on the same tab. It is handy to manage the exploration through the search list to be able to either open a particular file or folder in the search list in a new tab, or copy the file link without having to create a share link to open file in a new tab.
Thanks!

We'd like to be able to add comma's in tags we apply files. For example, we'd like to place a tag for "1,250" on a file. Right now if we try that, it will show up as two tags, "1" and "250".

I would appreciate if the previous settings for contents filters could be saved so that I can call and use it when searching items with similar criteria.
Frequently using the same condition to search files, so I think it could improve the work efficiency to use saved filter settings.

It would be more efficient if infix matching is available for at least metadata search, or even just metadata search and folder/file name search.

When you try to select a month or year in the date picker when searching or filtering against metadata, the date picker disappears.

This means you have to scroll through the various months to get the date you want to select instead of using the filter options.

Just like Explorer search, Box should be able to list PDF files that contain the keywoard in their content and not only in the File name.

Example:
If using Box to store CVs, Box should be able to list CVs that has a specific skill.

It would be great if the public search API supported marker based paging to avoid duplicates coming back in search results. Currently we're only able to search based on limit and offset but that's not stateful so each "page" or results may have overlap with previous results. I believe there are other marker based paging APIs for Box. This would bring search in line with how we handle paged results elsewhere.
