Simply click on the filter pills to quickly find the files that matter most, saving you from sifting through irrelevant data.
Date Filter for Scoped Time Search
The new date filter option adds another layer of precision to your searches. You can now define specific time frames to find files modified within a certain period.

Additional information to help you easily identify the right search results
Location Column for Source Origin
Knowing where your files come from is essential, especially when collaborating with others. The enhanced OneDrive search now features a location column that shows whether a file is from a specific site or another user’s OneDrive. This transparency makes it easy to identify file sources, improving collaboration and file management.. If you want to find more files in this location, you can simply click on the location column and navigate to it directly.
Switching Between All Files, My Files, Current Folder, and Current Library Scope
Flexibility in search scope is super important. Now, you can toggle between “All Files,” “My Files,” “Current Folder,” and “Current Library” on the search results page. This feature allows for a broader search across all accessible files or a more focused search within your personal files, a specific folder, or a document library, depending on your needs at any given moment.
These enhancements rolling out now to the OneDrive search experience to help you work smarter and more efficiently! With powerful new tools to filter and identify your files, OneDrive is committed to supporting your productivity and collaboration needs.
