Is there a way to search through the content of csv?

I would like to search through content of .csv files. Why is it impossible? I thought .csv are just text files. Are there any plans that dropbox allows this feature in the near future?

Hi Mike, are you referring to searching in content using the API v2 /search endpoint? I can't speak to why one format or another is or isn't supported, or if it will be in the future, but I'll send this along as a feature request.
