Major bug in Dropbox iPad app: searching PDF files

Application Affected: Dropbox iPad app
Device: iPad Air 5
Operating System/Browser (if using the web): iPadOS 18.6.2
Dropbox App Version (if using the app): 462.3.2

Question or Issue:

Major and serious bug with the last few versions of the iPad app. The new Dropbox update for the iPad broke the search function when you search for text within a PDF file. You cannot see the search results anymore!! This happens on the iPad when trying to search through a PDF file for text!! The search box appears when you click on the magnifying glass within a PDF file, but then Dropbox HIDES all of the search results when it displays the search results!! We cannot search through PDF files anymore on the iPad because it hides all the search results!! Dropbox, please fix this bug ASAP!
