How to search the specific, or more relevant, words in PDFs stored in Dropbox online?
Hello!
Can anyone give me some helpful advice regarding the following “poor data searching function” ...

Dropbox StaffHi LoveNivea, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just for clarification, when you search on the site, do those PDFs contain the individual words 'British Bomber Command' separately, and not as a whole phrase?
This will help me to assist further!
- O have a similar problem in Dropbox Plus. This is a recent issue. Maybe an app update caused it? When I enter a search term, wanting specific words, Dropbox gives back a bunch of search results that it thinks are related. For example, searching the word Tuna to find a tuna casserole recipe, Dropbox returned Crab recipes, shrimp recipes, pictures of a fishing trip...and the words crab, shrimp. And fishing were highlighted -- as if they were in the search term I typed in the search box. How do I get exact word only matches in search?
- Yes, but please give me a secure email address to Dropbox support so I can send it. Thanks.

Hi MDMags, happy Friday!
If you're using a paid plan, could you try to open a ticket with our Support team, in order for them to have a closer look into this?
Let me know the ticket number reference here, as long as you do. If you're using a free account, or come across any issue reaching our Support, just give me a heads up, and I'll be more than happy to reach out to you internally.
Thank you!
