Allow "character sequence" searches
If I want to find all instances of "book", I do not want results that include "books" or "bookmark". In other normal searches, I would enter "book " with a space before the closing quote, however this does not work in Box's search.
The link above refers to this as "word sequences", but they don't work in this case. I even opened a ticket with Premier Support, and they said it couldn't be done, and to request the feature here. According to the link above, what I want is a "character sequence" search.
Boolean doesn't work here because I'm…

Limit a search to your Recents list
Similar to how you can focus a search on a specific folder; it would be useful to limit a search to the items in your recents list.

Please change the specification to recognize "AND" when a word is separated from another word by a space.
In general, if we put a space between words when searching, Explorer, Google, etc., will do an "AND" search.
However, in the case of Box's search function, the same operation will result in an "OR" search.
Therefore, if we wish to use "AND" search, we must state "AND".https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696314
＞Using this operator is not necessary as we implicitly interpret multi-word queries as OR unless another supported Boolean term is used.To avoid user confusion, please change the specification to recognize "AND" when a word is separated from another word by a space, as is the case on other sites.
一般的に、単語と単語の間にスペースを入れて検索すると、エクスプローラーやGoogleなどでは「AND」検索になります。…

Please add some items to the search function so that users can specify the priority.
The current search function displays files in order of relevance by default.
However, it is sometimes difficult to find the file one wants to look for in order of relevance, which affects business operations.
Please add some items to the search function so that users can specify the priority.
For example, it would be great if it is possible to select files created by me, files updated by me, modified date, created date, ABC order, etc.現在の検索機能は、デフォルトで関連性の高い順にファイルを表示します。
しかし、目的のファイルを関連性の高い順に探すことが困難な場合があり、業務に影響を及ぼしています。
検索機能にいくつかの項目を追加し、ユーザーが優先順位を指定できるようにしてください。
例えば、「自分が作成したファイル」「自分が更新したファイル」「更新日」「作成日」「ABC順」などが選択できれば嬉しいです。6 votes -
Please add the ability to sort by file size/file format (e.g., extension in ABC order).
Currently, there are only a few sorting types that can be selected in the search function, making it difficult to find the information one wishes to search for.
Please add the ability to sort by file size/file format (e.g., extension in ABC order).現在、検索機能で選択できる並べ替えの種類が少なく、検索したい情報が探しにくい。
ファイルサイズ／ファイル形式（例：拡張子をABC順に並べる）でのソート機能を追加してください。6 votes -
Support parenthesis in search
For investigations or subject access requests, the search queries that we need to run tend to include many different options that require combinations of boolean operators AND and OR.
For instance I might need to search for user first name or last name or nichname combined with the topics for the search. The search would take this form ideally:
("A" OR "B" OR "C") AND ("D" OR "F").As currently parenthesis are not supported in search, I must run 6 distinct searches to get the desired results (A AND D, A AND F, B and D...) and this results in…

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 -
Improved search (not 'search term')
My hope is to search for "other than ●●" and "NOT ●●"
My preferred search method is, for example, There are 3 files. The file names are A, B, C.
I want to enter "not B" in the search. The result is A and C files.
It is usually called "Not search". (in Japan)6 votes -

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...

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 -
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 -
The search tool could look up for specific words/sentences inside documents.
When we need to search for a specific word/sentence inside a document, the search tool does not show any results. It is only searching for the word/sentence on the title of the document.
It would be very helpful if it could search inside the documents and also bring it as a result.6 votes -
Right now, Box's search engine is kinda useless
So, i contacted Box through chat to ask why the search engine wasn't looking for the specific input i searched for, and among other things i was told that the engine will look for files/folders which match ANY of the words in your input and has no capability of looking for files containing ALL of the words searched for which most search engine have, be it web search or OS search.
So, here's the problem, we have around 10.000 files uploaded to box, and lots of them share several words which indicate the client's name or what the file contains.…

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.

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 -
Disable full-text search for a subset of Box content

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.
Thanks!5 votes
