Chooser search doesn't appear to support full text search of content

Chooser search doesn't appear to support full text search of content

I implemented the dropbox chooser in a web app.    Within the chooser, I'm logged in as myself.     When searching, it searches file names but not file contents.      If I go directly to dropbox.com I can search file contents (using the same account).    Note that my account is a business account.

Can anyone confirm that the chooser does not search file contents?     Or maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere.

Thanks.

That's correct, the search in the Dropbox Chooser doesn't do full text search, and there isn't an option to enable that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
