  2. 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.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. 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.)

  7. 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.

  9. 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。

  10. 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)

  11. 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。

  12. Improve search UI

    Hi Team,

    When I search in BOX folder which has many files using "ctlr+f" option, It doesn't search entire folder.

    For Example: There are 10 files available in the folder which contains the name "OCA"(file name contains "OCA") And when I search I get only 6 results and when I scroll down and search I get remaining 4 results.
    Can you please improve it to search the whole folder even if the file is present at the bottom of scrollable area?

  13. Lock Sorting Settings of Files & Folders independently

    We would like to be able to lock the sorting settings of files in folders? If we sort the folders based on A-Z the files inside the folders swap to Z-A. We would want them to be fully independent from each other.

  14. 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 ... ?

  15. 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.

  16. Elastic search to be able to search contains

    Box should support modern search capabilities such as elastic search
    We want to be able to search for something within the name if a file
    ie name contains,
    Exact match isn't very useful, if we wanted to search for a specific product code in the name for example

  17. 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".

  18. 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。

  20. 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."
