v2 Search API results delayed
After uploading a file into dropbox, it looks like the v2 search API has a noticeable delay before the file will appear. I don't recall this issue with the v1 API, but its quite apparent now.

jianwen Thanks for following up. I'm glad to hear that search is working properly for you again.
I believe you should automatically get emailed when there's a new reply on a thread you're following, or when you're mentioned. I can't offer support for the forum itself, but I recommend making you're following any threads you're interested in (use the "Follow" button on the right-hand side) and check your email account's spam folder to see if the emails are getting filtered.
