Embed Allowing Search Capability within folder
Box embed should allow search within folders when using public/open shared links to the folder. This would be helpful and would allow users who are not logged in to search content shared.
With the recent update to the Embed Widget, users can now search inside folders.

This is such a waste of time for me and the users in my group that have access to user accounts. Please make this a function.

I don't see the point of a Box shared folder emulating a Windows folder if you can't do common things like searching into subfolders. There's even a 'Subfolders' option checkbox but when you enter the search text, you're immediately told 'not found' even you know matching items exist. Our IT department has come up with a less-than-ideal workaround -- a read-only replication of the shared folder. The problem with this is that once I find the folder I'm looking for, I have to create a new folder and file within that folder. Since it's read-only, I can't. It's been suggested that I open a second window with the original shared folder. Then I would have to do a considerable amount of drilling down to get to the matching folder. I though Box's whole thing was to make it easy to find the files you need to work with. This is lacking in Box shared folders.

When searching using the embed widget, the search will go across all library and folders a user has access to.
What I want is for the check box which defines to "only search inside of " to be automatically selected. As it is now, this option is NOT selected by default. If it were selected, then when a user searches, they would be searching only from the folder we care about and downward into that folder structure which would be fine, and lead to hits on only those files in Box that we want the search run against.
