Searching for folders on the Dropbox website does not show a list

The list is not displayed as a result of searching for folders only by entering 'xx type:folder' in the search box and sorting in order of newest to oldest.
However, when the sort order is from oldest to newest, the list is displayed.
Why is this?

    Hi there, kashiwagi_yhi, thanks for letting us know about this.

     

    Do you see the same behavior if you search for your folders, using a different browser or a private browsing/incognito window?

     

    Let me know!

      @Hannah

      Thanks for the reply!

       

      What I have been trying is the chrome browser.
      I also tried it in chrome private browser and Edge and had the same symptoms.

       

      Also, Dropbox API search_v2 returned 0 search results.

       

      I attach a screenshot of the result.

        Thanks for the update, kashiwagi_yhi.

         

        Does the same apply to all your folders? What about your files?
