We are currently not planning to implement this feature and will continue to prevent all Box Drive results from appearing in Explorer/Finder searches.
Box Drive does not download the all of the metadata (File name, folder structure, etc.) of your Box content. Instead, it is downloaded on demand and then evicted when it is no longer relevant. This eviction process is not visible to users and it is not easily predictable. This would cause the search results in Explorer/Finder to be inconsistent for users – sometimes they would find a file and other times they may not if the metadata and file were evicted.
We have chosen not to download all of the metadata (and then keep it up to date with changes) as this can result in a large performance, storage and bandwidth tax which is not scalable – especially in environments where users interface with millions of files/folders.

This is not something that we have on the roadmap for the foreseeable future. Notifications were suppressed for these items and we will be investigating different ways to make problem items in general more discoverable.

Agree with these comments. I need to be able to search from one general folder and have it find all the files inside of the subfolders as well. Unfortunately, Box Drive doesn't allow this. One thing I have noticed though is it works with Box Sync. Not sure why the Box Sync search function works great and like windows, but Box Drive it doesn't. And to have to use that little search box thing every time for the hundreds of invoices I need to search.. brutal.
