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.
