No search by content of Paper documents

Hi!
I was an active user of Dropbox Paper for many years and I have many important documents stored there.

Previously, there was a keyword search function in search for the entire contents of all files. After the latest change, the search only searches by document name.

If there is an alternative way to search or the feature was disabled permanently (but why?).

Hi @bezkancerogenov - sorry to hear you're having issues with searching your Dropbox Paper docs based on their content and not their names.

Just note that this feature is available to the Dropbox Plus, Family, Professional, Essentials, Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus, and Enterprise plans at the moment, so if you're on the Basic plan it's normal that you can't use it.

I hope this helps!

We have Dropbox Plus but Dropbox Paper still searches only document titles, not content. Do you have a solution? Thanks.

Hey @kimimoore1028 - there has been a change since the original post here and this feature is not available to Dropbox Plus at this time, only Dropbox Professional, Essentials, Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus, and Enterprise plans.

I hope this clarifies matters and please let me know if you have any follow up questions.
