Re: Can we search by file name on the Dropbox website, and not by content?

I was able to reproduce this issue, however on my end Dropbox will return all files that have the search term in the filename first (as long as "most relevant" is selected in the Sort By menu), and then everything else that may contain that term afterward. 

It definitely would be helpful if there was a way to exclude everything else all together though, agreed.
