Support for Spotlight on macOS is out with the release of version 2.53 (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/53361463306515-Box-Drive-v2-53-Release-Notes).
The request will be left in the "gathering feedback" stage, as Finder/File Explorer search functionality does remain limited.

The day Box Sync will no longer work will be the day I cancel the box.com account. Using Box Drive is a no-go without support for Spotlight. With Box Drive I'd be choosing to mark for offline access most of the Box.com content except for videos. As the actual files are local to my Mac I'd expect them to be returned in the spotlight results. Not doing so for the files that are actually stored locally is plain dumb. There's no technical excuse for not indexing them.

Please help us understand the use case more, as the ability to apply retention is typically not extended to end users.

I'm not sure why nobody from Box mentions this, but.... if you're using Box Drive, for any folder that you mark as "Make available offline", those contents *will* be indexed by Spotlight. So if you're migrating from Box Sync (which causes your files to be local anyhow), just migrate to Box Drive and make those same folders be available offline. They will be indexed by Spotlight as before.
