The Dropbox app is hiding results for full-text search in PDF files on iPadOS.

Application Affected: Dropbox iPad app
Device: iPad Air 5
Operating System/Browser (if using the web): iPadOS 18.6.2
Dropbox App Version (if using the app): 462.3.2

Question or Issue:

Major and serious bug with the last few versions of the iPad app. The new Dropbox update for the iPad broke the search function when you search for text within a PDF file. You cannot see the search results anymore!! This happens on the iPad when trying to search through a PDF file for text!! The search box appears when you click on the magnifying glass within a PDF file, but then Dropbox HIDES all of the search results when it displays the search results!! We cannot search through PDF files anymore on the iPad because it hides all the search results!! Dropbox, please fix this bug ASAP!

Thanks for reporting this here, @scotty321 and @impallo.

Since I’ll also need a visual to investigate this further, can either of you please post a couple of screenshots of what you see in this thread?

If there’s any personal info showing, please make sure to remove it beforehand.

Let me know when you’re ready.

This will be fixed in the next release (464). You can get this fix early by installing the TestFlight build by following these instructions. Let me know if that works for you.
