Give us a progress bar for indexing.

Indexing... Indexing... Is it working, or is it dead? Who knows. Are there issues? Maybe. Maybe not. 

OneDrive tells you how many files are left to index. If I see the number drop from 250,000 to 249,999, I at least know it's working.

I don't say this lightly, because I hate OneDrive, but please do it like OneDrive. If you want to improve on them, you can give us an estimate of when indexing will be complete.

I hope you'll consider it. Thank you.

    This is an observation I've seen come up a few times this year in the community, I love that someone officially suggested it. 

    Let's see if we can gather some support!
