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.

Keep certain folder's contents from showing up in search results
I have several folders w/ very common words and randomly generated filenames, that keep popping up when i am using the search function in box.
It would be nice, to have the option to shield a few folders from appearing in search results.2 votes -

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".

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.

Tag List - Would be handy to be able to bring up a list of all used at an y time, to keep it maintained throughout
Seems strange that such a simple thing is not available

Marker based paging for search
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.

I want to be able to find files containing specific text that DO NOT have a specified metadata template applied
I want to be able to find files containing specific text that DO NOT have a specified metadata template applied. This will help with implementing Box Governance Classification, and support compliance/audits going forward.

search filenames using leading wildcards
Box.com should allow search for filenames of the files that Box creates due to conflicts. The beginning of the filename is unknown but filename ends in email.address@company.com.
Currently, Box.com cannot find all filenames ending in email.address@company.com.
So there is no way to find the files that Box itself has created due to conflicts. We have tens of files scattered on our server that Box created due to network anomalies, and no way to serach for them and reconcile them.2 votes -

Extend navigation to include advanced boolean operators such as "w/s" (within sentence) and "w/p" (within paragraph)
Extend navigation to include advanced boolean operators such as "w/s" (within sentence) and "w/p" (within paragraph). This will enable the user to find documents must more quickly than just using AND, OR, and NOT.

Make contents of Apple iWork files fully searchable
Currently Apple iWork files (.key, .numbers, .pages) are not searchable on Box, even though uploading, previewing and editing them on Box is possible. As our company mainly works with these Mac files, this is a big limitation for us. It would be great if all iWork formats can be search using the full text searched functions in Box.
As a Box user, I want to be able to do a full text search on Apple iWork files, so that I can find them based on their contents when I do not remember their file names.

Stop auto text
Box needs to stop auto text when attempting to type in the search bar. Proper nouns and acronyms are pretty standard in business and constantly changing what we type into the search bar is enraging and a huge waste of time.

Box search filters - ability to select bookmarks
Without any filters (ie not selected Files or Folders), the Box Web Search results INCLUDE bookmarks matching the word/string selected in the search.
HOWEVER, if a user wishes to isolate only the bookmarks listed in the results, THEY CANNOT.
Bookmarks ARE a Box type I would argue, therefore the 'Type' filter should list 'Bookmarks' amongst the other types listed (to search for these only), as well as CONTINUING to display Bookmarks in results of 'Any type'
Whilst it is recognised that bookmarks may be to both FILES and FOLDERS (inside and outside of Box), this should not be preventing them…

Display more text in search results
I would like to have the paragraph or at least several lines on either side that contains the matched search term(s) displayed in search results. We have a significant number of documents that contain similar verbiage. Having more text from the document displayed in search results would allow users to identify relevant documents without having to open them. The API should also return the same amount of text.

Search function - update date of the property data held by the document as a search condition.
The current full-text search function searches for the date of uploading to Box,
But I want to use the update date of the property data held by the document as a search condition.現在の全文検索機能では、Boxにアップロードした日が検索対象となるが、

Bookmark character limit
Bookmark character limit
The maximum number of characters for the URL when creating a bookmark is 500, but the URL exceeds 500 characters when searching by metadata, so it cannot be registered as a bookmark. I would like to save the search conditions in the metadata and use it to access it again, so could you consider improving it?ブックマークを作成する際のうURLの文字数上限が500になっていますが、メタデータでの検索をした際のURLが500文字を超えており、ブックマークに登録する事が出来ません。メタデータでの検索条件を保存しておき、再度アクセスするといった使い方をしたいと思いますので、改善をご検討いただけませんでしょうか？

Generate csv for the users with permission
let's say you have a subfolder with multiple users with the same permission, and want to create another subfolder for the similar purpose for the same users. Wouldn't it be great if you can generate a user list as csv or any other format, so you can easily copy and paste the users to invite? I know an admin can create a group but dont you think a regular user should be able to do the similar thing too?
