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 Gregory,

Is there any official way to get the info from dropbox about possible adding of csv file searching feature? My client is a huge concern and needs to load to a dropbox a large amount of data at .csv format. This data should be "at read format" to have possibility to search through contents. I'm afraid that my solution of the problem, namely: to duplicate .csv by their .txt copy, seems to be very unpractical and heavy-weight.
