  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. 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、
    ドキュメントが保持するプロパティデータの更新日を検索条件の対象としたい。

  5. Ability to batch download results of a search, including those of a metadata search.

    i want to be able to batch download results of a search, including those of a metadata search. A search can produce many results and i need to be able to download all results, or mass select them really to then download or share them. I cannot click the box next to each one it takes too long .

  6. 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?

  7. 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?

  9. Make new files/folder immediately searchable. Remove latency.

    Make new files/folder immediately searchable. There is massive latency for new files/folders being searchable, which creates a very confusing and unpleasant end user experience.

    When a new file/folder is created, it is not immediately searchable. Please fix this.

  12. 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".

  13. 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。

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  17. Full text search malfunction

    I can not do full text search on my folder. Does it take a little bit time to be ready to search? Or double bytes character is not supported?

  18. Metadata key values of type {number, date} only searchable by range (gt, lt) and not equality

    Assume I have a metadata template "Template" with a key - value of type Number. In both the web app and API, it is not possible to do an equality search:

    templateKey = template
    filters = {"value": 2}

    Instead, the search requires specifying both lower and upper bounds. If you're searching for a single value, you then have to approximate it with a gt = 2, lt = 2 combo.

    a) Most importantly, the API documentation implies that the range parameters are not required when searching by number or date.

    b) I think both the webapp UI and the API…
