Option to "search for the image content" for Dropbox app only when I request it.

Option to "search for the image content" for Dropbox app only when I request it.

Searching contents is REALLY handy sometimes!  But not being able to turn it off is problematic. For a very simple example, if I have 4 files with the word "lion" in the file name, I will search for that word.  That used to work fine.  However now, I will get those four files... along with 20-30 other files that have IMAGES of lions in the file contents.

 

Can I request that "Search contents" (or something like) be made a CHECKBOX so that if we are only looking for a known file name, we don't get so many results that the search ceases to be useful?  I hope this is doable!

 

Thanks, and keep up the great work!
