Search Not Working Properly Online / Website

Our search has not been working properly for over a week now.  Words, Numbers, and other unique identifiers that should appear in our search results do not and we have to try to follow the file path to find a document or folder which is costing us a lot of time.

 

This has happened previously but typically gets resolved quickly.

 

Example:  We give a 5 digit number to every project folder.  When we search the 5 digits the folder will not appear in the search results.

 

Using website on Chrome browser.  Have cleared cache & history to no avail.  Also happens with Edge browser.  Please fix.

    Hi there epco, sorry for the tardy response.

     

    Are you still having issues with this?

     

    If so, could you post a couple of screenshots of a sample file showing this behavior so that we can have a look too?

     

    Thanks so much!
