    Hi bezkancerogenov - sorry to hear you're having issues with searching your Dropbox Paper docs based on their content and not their names.

We have Dropbox Plus but Dropbox Paper still searches only document titles, not content. Do you have a solution? Thanks.

    Hey kimimoore1028 - there has been a change since the original post here and this feature is not available to Dropbox Plus at this time, only Dropbox Professional, Essentials, Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus, and Enterprise plans. 

    I hope this clarifies matters and please let me know if you have any follow up questions.
