For search, increase the indexed text per document limit to unlimited, rather than 10k bytes, which is only roughly 3-4 pages.

Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters
Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters. It is most similar to Adobe Illistrator, so perhaps it should be in the same category as *.ai files.

Better searchability on assets
inside of a folder with hundreds of assets, it would be amazing to have the letters a-z on the left side so you can click on the letter that corresponds with the first letter in an assets title and go directly to those assets. For example, if you click on 'G'. all assets that start with the letter 'G' come up.
Currently you have to scroll. sometimes for a while to get to the proper file. When you have hundreds of assets within 1 folder it's laborious to get to the one you want!4 votes -
Enhance Metadata Search for Text field for Japanese language ("contains" instead of "exact match")
Currently, texts in Metadata can only be searched by exact match especially for Japanese characters. We would like to see an improvement to make it "contains" search as it is available in the standard search.
86 votesWe are planning improvements to how we handle Japanese language queries but this work is not currently on the roadmap in the next 12 months. We will take this into consideration for the annual roadmap for next year.

Email notifications based on saved search
Provide the ability for a user to save an arbitrary search query (including the use of Metadata templates if applicable) and be notified of new content that arrives in a Box folder when it matches that saved search.
This would immensely help our Box users be notified in real-time as we upload content that they are interested in. Otherwise, they have to periodically search the entire folder at some period of the day to find this new content of interest. Using the current notification capability that triggers on all uploads would be too much "noise" to the user; they need…

Lock Sorting Settings of Files & Folders independently
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.

searching for users (external or managed)
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...

Boolean search should generate results as part of type ahead query
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.

Please make it possible to search by file ID/folder ID when searching in the Recycle Bin. ごみ箱内検索するときにファイルID/フォルダIDで検索できるようにしてほしい。
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。6 votes -

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

Access to file link from search results
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.

Adding commas in tags
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".

Enhance user experience for searching files with tag
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.
- search a keyword filtering with tag
- change the keyword on search box
- 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.

Month and Year options when searching Metadata date fields do not select
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.

Search for keywords in File content and not only in file names
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.6 votes -
Support infix (middle of the word) matching such as %ox%.
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.

search spaces
I have trouble with searching for file names with numbers.
As an example: I have a folder called "AB123", and another called "AB 123".
A search for "123" returns "AB 123"
A search for "AB" returns both.I'd very much like it if "123" returned both.
This example is from a macbook, using box through a chrome browser
(The other option is to try to implement a new naming convention in my organisation - and get people to stick to it without a stray space or not messing it up! Taking the option for human error out would be far…
