Default Search Everywhere
While I understand the need to search only in a folder, my company uses the search everywhere function way more.
Is there a way to make the search "everywhere" option the default instead of search "only in this folder"? It slows us down so much right now having to switch it to find a different folder without going back to the home page, or switching the search feature.

Add the ability to search by uploader
We'd like to see the ability to search for files by uploader name. Since searching by owner is basically useless if the file is uploaded by someone other than the folder owner, having the ability to search by the uploader would make it a lot easier to find files uploaded by a particular user if you don't have the file name on hand.

Critical Feature Request: Search Function Needed for External Box Links
As a customer managing 7,000+ files on Box.com, we're considering alternative platforms due to a significant limitation in your service. While we've invested in premium features the inability for external users to search within shared links essentially nullifies these efforts.
Key Issue:
External users cannot search within shared links, rendering our organized file structure and tagging system useless during client collaboration. This limitation alone makes us question our continued use of Box.com, as it creates unnecessary friction.Proposed Solution:
Enable search functionality within shared links to:-Improve client experience
-Maximize value of premium features
-Maintain professional workflow
- eliminate double…2 votes -

Search within a folder using words from your search history
When words used in a folder search are displayed as search history, clicking on the word will result in a global search.
I would like to be able to search for words in the search history used in a folder search again within the same folder.(in Japanese)

Save search filter settings
In an environment where you frequently deal with specific files, setting filters every time you search for a file can be tedious and reduces work efficiency.
I wish there was an option to keep search filter settings or not.-in Japanese-

Content owners to be searchable even if they own more than 1 million items
Currently, Box's search function becomes unstable when the owner of the content you want to check owns more than 1 million pieces of content,
making it impossible to hit the file correctly. It takes a huge amount of time to check the number of contents of the owner of the content to be confirmed each time in order to perform a file search correctly,
which affects business operations. Please improve the search function so that it can be used correctly even if the content you want to check has more than 1 million owners(日本語)
現在Boxの検索機能は確認されたいコンテンツの所有者が100万コンテンツ以上所有している場合、ファイル検索の動作が不安定になり正常にヒットできません。
正しくファイル検索を行う為に確認されたいコンテンツの所有者のコンテンツ数を都度確認するのは膨大な時間がかかり業務に影響がございます。
確認されたいコンテンツの所有者が100万以上所有されていても正しく検索機能が使えるよう機能改善をお願いします。40 votes -
Ability to sort fields to arrange by when viewing All items
When searching through all items it would be helpful to be able to click on any of the columns headings to sort the results of a search or just through All Items.

Add root level file path + end file path to search results (Root > 1 > 2 > 3....x+3 > x+2 > x+1 > x)
Currently, when you search for an item in Box, the list of returns displays the last x amount of folders in the file path that fit in the screen. Understanding that showing the entire file path (though desired) would not be possible, it would be more helpful to show the first 3 folders starting from the root folder, and the last 3 folders from the bottom, to get a better idea of where this item lives. Due to large enterprises with multiple PB of content, only seeing the last 3 folders of the file path is not helpful enough.

Search in safari broken
When searching within Safari the search is performed within the current folder with the option for Everywhere and Within <folder> appearing at the top.
In Safari when clicking on either Everywhere or Within this Folder the search disappears. As a result it is difficult to search everywhere, requiring a search to be done from the top parent folder.
This doesn't happen in Chrome, and seems to be a bug.
(For others that come across this, as a work around, pressing the down arrow then enter properly selects Everywhere without the search disappearing)

split PST files
I have a large PST file in Outlook that’s becoming difficult to manage due to its size and also difficult to handle as well as. That’s why i would like to split them into smaller, more manageable files to improve performance and avoid any kinds of issue.
Can anyone recommend the best way to safely split a PST file without losing any data? Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on:
Are any reliable third-party utilities that can help split large PST files or should I go for manual method?

Default search in "Sign" section
Please update the default setting for the search bar in the 'Sign' section. Currently, it only searches within the list of documents sent for signature, even though we had a separate search bar for that purpose. The search function should be set to search across all areas.

To be able to set their preferred default search to either "Everywhere" or in the folder you're in, depending on their own workflow.
From what I'm reading, I am not alone. I would like to be able to set mypreferred default search to the "Everywhere" option instead of the current folder. Others prefer the folder they are currently in, but it should be up to the user to determine what they want it defaulted to. Not what the develepors think everyone wants.

default search to search everywhere in box
We are not happy with the new search experience. We dont mind it but it would be nice if we can set our default search to search everywhere in box. We find that searching everywhere is more useful than searching within a folder. This auto restriction to the current folder is useless to our attorney's and likely adds 2 hours to their workweek (30 seconds at a time....)

Search everywhere should be the default search option
After the most recent update, the Box search bar searches the folder you are in automatically, and not "everywhere" as previously. When I am searching for a new folder, I have to either go back to the main page by selecting the box icon or - ensuring I change the search filters to "everywhere"
I think everywhere should be the default or at least have the option for the user to decide how they would like the search bar to function.1 vote -

Ability to set "Updated" as default in search results
Search results can be sorted by "relevance" or "Updated".
However, the default is "Relevance".
Since "Updated" is used more frequently than "Relevance", please implement the ability to specify the default on the user side or in the tenant settings.検索結果は、「関連度順」または「更新日」に並び替えることが可能です。
しかし、デフォルトは「関連度順」になっています。
「関連度順」よりも「更新日」を頻繁に利用するため、ユーザー側やテナント設定でデフォルトを指定できる機能を実装してください。5 votes -
Add keyword conditions to search filter.
Currently, possible to search by combining Boolean operators and keywords, it is a hurdle for users to use without knowledge.
It would be easier to search if the search filter had a narrowing criterion such as "includes ~" or " not include ~".(日本語)
検索フィルタにキーワードの条件指定を追加する
現在ブール演算子とキーワードを組み合わせることで検索することは可能ですが、知識がないとユーザーが使用するのはハードルが高いです。
検索フィルタに”～を含む”、”～を含まない”のような絞り込み条件があればもっと簡単に検索ができます。4 votes
