Hi, the paper search seems to only search by document name and not their content, so it seems content is not indexed. Is this expected?
Hi @mps1975, could you confirm what plan you're on according to this page?

Hey @mps1975, thanks for posting to our Community today.
The search bar in Paper searches the full text of Paper docs, which means that the content of a doc is also included.
Are you using the 2020 release of Dropbox Paper or the older version?
Also, just to clarify, are you searching for key words in docs through the Paper search bar or Dropbox?
And are you using the Paper website or the mobile app?
Let me know and we'll go from there.

Hi Hannah, thank you so much for your reply.
I will confirm:
- I am using the 2020 release.
- I am searching for key words in the PAPER android app and the PAPER search bar.
- No content is either found if I search in the dropbox search bar. Only titles can be searched.
I recently migrated all my notes from another provider, and I was expecting all content was indexed, but maybe this is not the case, and only title can be searched through dropbox.
Thanks

Thanks, that seems to be the issue, so now it requires a paid plan for this feature. Thanks for the clarification.
