Give Admins the option to turn on/off an easy-to-export search results list for end users
Give Admins the option to turn on/off an easy-to-export search results list for end users.
Can't export search results into an Excel spreadsheet. Please give us the option to do this, BUT also some Admins might really NOT want this, so please also give Admins the option to turn it on/off for end users from the Admin Console.

Allow Users and Admins to set folders to be excluded from search results
It would be useful if Administrators had the ability to set folders to be excluded from Search results by default. For example, if a folder is used for historical archive purposes it might not be relevant for the majority of searches, but inclusion in search results will make it harder to find what the user is actually looking for. It would also be useful if users could do this for their own accounts as well.
One possible method of implementation is to add a Tag called "Archive" (or something similar) to folders that Users and/or Admins can set to exclude…

Simple Search AND Advanced Search
Box Search has its uses, but seems to be lacking a lot of basics I would have thought common. Given the wide ranging uses that customers seem to have, it makes sense to have more options opened up. More new Features are nice, but existing and frequently used Features like Search should really be refined.
The Simple Search is definitely helpful for some, but it looks like a lot of people are not satisfied with its the current state. Sorting is lacking. Filters are lacking. Why not include an Advanced Search function which includes what numerous Users have been reporting…

Improve metadata search UI design.
We are currently confined to a small box with scroll bars when using Metadata search. Please improve the UI design so we can see all the fields without having to scroll (pop-out, iFrame, etc.)

Be able to set a particular default search File Type such as "Folders"
Be able to set a particular File Type such as "Folders" be the default file type in search rather than "Any Type." Would like to be able to select a file type as default.

Ability to search history
We use history as a way to find files that we have seen in the past.
However, the history does not have a search function, and only 50 files can be displayed per screen.
Moreover, it is very inconvenient to go back and check the history because you have to click the next page many times.
Please make history searchable.過去に見たことがあるファイルを見つける方法として履歴が存在しますが、
履歴には検索機能がなく、1画面あたり50ファイルしか表示できません。
その上、履歴をさかのぼって確認するときは何度も次のページをクリックする必要があり、非常に不便です。
履歴を検索できるようにしてください。2 votes -
Include .gslides in "Presentation" file type filter
The file types that are under the "Presentation" filter are 'ppt', 'pptx', 'key', 'odp', 'otp', 'pot', 'fodp', 'keynote', and 'pez'.
'.glides' should be included, as .'gdoc' is included in "Documents" and '.gsheet' is included in "Spreadsheets".

Ability to search with symbols on Box Web and Box Drive
We are aware that a single search for a symbol, including ".", cannot be used with Box's search function.
Searching only for symbols will expand the search range and improve the convenience of file searches, so we would like to see this feature implemented.(Japanese)
「.」含む記号の単一検索はBoxの検索機能で使用できないと貴社より確認出来てます。
記号のみを検索することで検索範囲が広がりファイル検索の利便性が向上するため是非実現に向けて対応してほしい。1 vote -
Multiple folder Search options in Content Filters.
When we search content, we can only set a certain folder to search (with a tick box) as a condition.
However, we would like to select multiple folders in the Content Filter to have more specific results in order to refer file a in folder A and file b in folder B.5 votes -
About adding a search function for annotations
We use both comments and annotations without distinction.
We feel uncomfortable that comments are searchable, but annotations are not.
Although both are displayed in the same comment field, it is inconvenient that annotations cannot be searched, so we would like to improve the function so that annotations can also be searched.<アノテーションの検索機能の追加について>
弊社ではコメントもアノテーションも特に区別なく利用しています。
コメントは検索出来て、アノテーションが検索できないことに違和感を感じます。
どちらも同じコメント欄に表示されるのに、アノテーションは検索できないのは不便なため、アノテーションも検索できるよう機能の改善を希望します。6 votes -
Build native Box Search to also search the end of a text string, not only the beginning of a text string
Build native Box Search to also search the end of a text string, not only the beginning of a text string.
Specifically, my customer wants to search for a folder, ABCD1234, where searching for "ABCD" populates all folders with "ABCD" as the fore end of the nomenclature, but when searching for the tail end of the nomenclature (aka the unique, identifying text string), "1234," the specific full ABCD1234 folder is not populating in search results.

Display name is cut off when specifying a group or user in the user activity report
The display name displayed in the suggestion when performing a search when specifying a group or user in the user activity report is cut off.
Users and groups cannot be specified correctly, such as when similar names are set and they are distinguished by the end of the name.
We want you to improve so that you can check all users and group names in the suggestion display when searching(In Japanese)
ユーザーアクティビティレポートのグループやユーザーを指定するときに検索を行っても、
サジェストに表示される表示名が見切れてしまう。
類似した名前を設定し、名前の末尾で区別している場合など正しくユーザーやグループを指定する事ができない。
検索時のサジェスト表示でユーザーやグループ名をすべて確認できるよう改善してほしい。3 votes -
Better sorting by relevance with search terms
When I search for an exact file name, to find all copies of that file within a folder structure, the "See All Results" page does not put all the "hits" of that exact file name at the top of the list. I have to scroll down through many other files with partial hits in the name to find all copies. Why would it not sort by exact file names first, then partial file name matches, then contents ... ?

Contextual Search
The ability to search contextually for a topic and have related results be populated similar to an internet search engine e.g. you search for "Fruit" and search results include "apples, oranges, bananas etc."

searching by "shared with me"
It would be nice to sort my files by those files that "shared with me" by other people. Sometimes I don't know the name of the folder, but know who sent me the data. This search ability in the "sort" section above the files, or on the menu to the left of the files would save time searching for things.

Search Engine should run on the displayed dates rather than the API dates
Box's search queries do not go off of the same date displayed to end users in the WebApp. The Modified Date seen in the WebApp is different than the API field “modified_at” that the search tool goes off of. From a user’s viewpoint, the date is the date, so using two separate date fields for the same product is confusing to end users. This is a request to ensure both of these fields align.
