    Hi Olivier, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    The search feature you are asking about is currently a known limitation and not supported when using Box Drive on Windows devices:

    • Windows search tools such as Cortana or File Explorer search do not return Box Drive results. 

    We recommend using  Box Drive's search tool instead. 

    Thanks for your question and let me know how else we can help!

    Regards,

    Hi France, 
     
    Yes I knew this feature and it works but, admit that Box.com don't allow, by technical limitation, a simple and fluent workflow.

    Is this still a limitation (cannot search in Windows Explorer)? Also the link to Box Drive's search tool is broken.
