I can't search within a sub-folder

I would like to suggest if I search for something, I find only current folder is available. I wonder if it is possible to search something on current folder and its subfolder as well?

Hi hkRay, thanks for contacting us!

Just to clarify, when you search for a file or folder via the Dropbox site, from within a folder itself, are you not getting any results in subfolders?

Are you doing this search on the Dropbox site, or via the desktop or mobile app?

This will help me to assist further!
