    Hi BBarkalow,

     

    Full text search is available on business advanced plans (including trials), but needs to be enabled via your admin console. You can read more here: https://blog.dropbox.com/topics/product/search-images-text-ocr

     

    If this still isn't working for you or you need further assistance, reply to this message and I can see what else we can do for you.

     

    Best,

    Ben

Thank you BenDBX !  That worked.

 

I'm surprised that it's a beta feature (still - the referenced article is from 2020 after all), but as long as it works I'm happy.
