Incorrect search results.....again!

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi amcoffice, a screenshot would definitely be most helpful.
You should be able to click the camera-like icon and attach it here. However, in some cases you might need to use a desktop to do that, or at least the desktop version on your browser while using your mobile.
Searches appear to be working now, but screenshots attached show the search problem from
yesterday. (For some reason, got "Error Code: Upload Failed" on two jpeg screenshots re: iPhone searches 😕 let me know if I need me to send those a different way.)
Issue is having to guess whether any search results are reliable versus knowing they are incorrect/incomplete because you happen to know of a known responsive document that is not in the search results.
All help and input is welcome, especially as to the cause of the bad search results and any way to avoid them in the future.
Thank you,
Judith

Hey amcoffice, thanks for the screenshots!
Since everything is now working as it should, I'd assume it was a momentary glitch, that resolved itself.
It doesn't sound -based on everything that you described- that you did something to have caused it, and it's indeed weird that you noticed it in both the website, and mobile app.
In any case, if this happens again in the future, all you'd need to do would be to jump in here, and let me know, and we'll do our best to locate why this might be happening.
