Hey HarryZ, thanks for the added info!
Manage offline files should be your offline content when using the mobile app.
As for searching: your feedback regarding this has been very valuable and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.
I will pass on your comments to the relevant departments so that we can further improve our product.
Thank you!

Aloha Jay,
As I mentioned in my previous update, I do see a 'Manage Offline Files' selection. (See attachment). But searching there still gets me the no internet error message.
Not being able to search my offline files is a BIG problem for me. There are over 2000 files in one of my directories. Using the hot spot on my phone is rather slow.
IMO, if you're offline, then the search should be done against your offline files. (Maybe throw up a message box informing the user that the search is limited to offline files).
Lastly, though I don't think this makes a difference, this is on a tablet, not a phone.
Mahalo, Harry Z
