Jerome Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Suddenly search does not find any files in a folder. Had been working fine until recently. Only change in my system is that I recently purchased Home Pro version and after installing the key on my computers I found that no files would show up when searching on my iOS devices. Is there an index of the files that needs to be rebuilt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 there's no any index file or something, search works fine on all our iOS devices. Can you please share a few screenshots illustrating the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Posted August 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I didn't explain it properly. The search no longer works to find files in subfolders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 search in subfolders also works. But note - it does not (and never did) search inside enclosed subfolders, it searches only on the current level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msync Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Are you sure nothing has changed with respect to this? I cannot prove it but I'd really swear searching inside enclosed subfolders worked in previous versions, even with selective sync. At least on the iOS app? As in: I would go to my synced root folder, search for something and any file matching would show up, regardless of where subfolder the file (or placeholder with selective sync on) was in - so I could just tap and sync/download the file I needed. I would additionally swear this worked right until last iOS version (2.6.0 (339)). I'd say I remember well because it was a very important use/case in my setup and I was very pleased it worked as I needed... Search on top folder and voilà.

Jerome Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Thank you msync for confirming my sanity. Here is the how I began my aborted response to the comment from Helen. " Strange, unless I've been hallucinating" . I too remembered searches working even in subfolders until recently on both my iphone and ipad apps. I had recently upgraded to a paid version and thought that my have changed something but regardless I now feel confident to say that searching through subfolders did indeed work in the past.

christophk Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 I am new to Resilio sync, but I would really hope that it works to search in enclosed subfolders :-) Is this really not working? Could this not be added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msync Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Can Resilio please acknowledge why search bar on iOS app does not search recursively in folders, when it did perfectly so a few versions back? Can Resilio please let their customers know why this feature has been removed or, if it has been removed unintentionally, advise when/if it will be back? The disappearance of recursive search is a deal breaker for many of your users and at least you could explain why it is gone. We would like it back and one would expect it's not too much to ask? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoyce Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I think that the administrator of Resilio is working with concern, let us try to give them some time to figure out how to bring back this feature. I honestly don't have an idea on why did they have to remove it. BTW, I want to know your thoughts about underground dog fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msync Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Yeah well, it's been 4 months since the last reply and this thread was being buried so I thought it was proper to bring this up again with some direct questions. Recursive search is a key feature in some workflows, as I said, for me it renders my particular setup almost worthless. I bought a Pro license when I used the trial version and recursive search was working quite fine, I can imagine others may have done the same. It's at least unusual to remove SW functionalities apparently without a reason or explanation. Finally, I felt it's worth to insist since it might even be just a bug or an oversight, idk?

msync Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 For all interested, Sync iOS app’s last update (version 2.6.3) has brought back recursive search. Thanks Resilio, well fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Thanks for the update msync. Your persistance is appreciated. I don't know how anyone could make the comment that "the administrator of Resilio is working with concern" unless they have insight into the workings of the company not apparent on the forum. As far as I can tell the only administrative response (Helen) basically denied that there was a problem at all. That the function never existed. Love the product, but I can't say the same about support. A little better communication would go a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msync Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Bug is back in iOS... Haven’t used much Sync lately but latest version doesn’t search recursively, again. Can you please bring it back, Resilio? Thanks edit: Help page on search (https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/205457725-How-do-I-perform-a-search-in-Sync) now specifies: “Currently Search is perform on the given subfolder level though.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindlebum Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 This is still an issue. Shame as the iOS recursive search feature has been incredibly useful in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
