OneDrive Search File Contents
OneDrive is no longer searching file contents. I used to get search results from file contents before but all of a sudden it's showing results only if it matches the filename. What could be the issue...

Yes, I have noticed it has gotten worse recently again. I've always had some problems searching files for contents from time to time. Restarting my apps, signing out and signing back in... These "refreshes" always helped in the past.
Now I can't search for anything that's not kept on my device. The moment I free up space the contents are unsearchable.
I'm also just realizing it looks like it kind of works, but the search term has to be an exact match. Is anybody else seeing this or just me?
It's much better. However, Since it wasn't working I start to synch the folder to Google drive as well. Many times I find in Google what I couldn't find with Microsoft.
