Hello,

If I upgrade to a Business plan, and then share a folder anonymously (i.e. create a link to make the folder available to anyone on the public Internet to view and download the contents of the folder) will those anonymous users see a search field at the top of the page, and will they be able to search the contents of PDF's I upload to the folder? Or, do users need to be authenticated to see the search field?

    Hi Andrew, 

    Welcome to Box community!

    It varies. A user who accesses the "public shared link" without logging in or without a Box account will not be able to search for files or see the search option. However, if the user clicks the link when logged in or has a Box account, they will see the "Account" option and be able to use the search feature.

    Hope to helps. Thank you for posting!
