Wow this Dropbox Forum interface is extremely confusing, nowhere did your name show up as being involved in this mysterious merging action until you voluntarily chimed in, otherwise I would have no way to track what in the world was happening or why!
That being said, my suggestion link still doesn't work:

Seems to be working for me. Cache issue, perhaps?
I also would *love* the ability to search by filename only. I have a large Dropbox with many random text files in it, so any search always brings up some of the full text results. It would be incredibly helpful if I could only search for the filename or if I could at least sort the results so that filename matches show up first.
That said, the only good solution to this I know of at the moment is to downgrade your Dropbox to the free plan. Full text search is a paid feature, so once you're back on the free plan you'll get filename-only search.
At the moment I rely on rclone ls to do a filename-only search of Dropbox. Sadly its quite slow, but it's my best option besides downgrading.
