Changelog

File Search can now help you find files by their text contents.

If you want to quickly find that essay, source file or text document that you know contains a word or phrase but can’t quite remember the file name, just type the text in Root Search or File Search.

To enable Content Search toggle it on in Settings > File Search. After this content-based results will appear after any name or path results in File Search.

This is the first step in making File Search even more powerful and we aim to bring further improvements specifically to Content Search in the future.
