Can't search attachments on "The new Outlook"

[ollyyllo]

In the Office 365 OWA there is a little toggle that lets users enable "The new Outlook"

 

So, after enabling it, when I create a new email, attach a file and browse from cloud locations

 

 

There is now a box to search your OneDrive folders,

 

 

Which is great but... I cant get it to work, whatever I type in it just stays in the list view, nothing happens

Tried on different browsers, accounts and computers. It just doesn't seem to do anything

 

Thought it might be a problem with indexing but search works fine everywhere else.

 

First question, does anyone else have the same problem?

 

Any ideas why I cant get it to work, I'm at a loss?

 

Thanks

It works here:

 

 

Attached items: One small, one large both from cloud storage.

 

So not an Office services issue? Do you have free space remaining on your cloud storage allocation?

Thanks, that's what I wanted to rule out.

 

Ye, plenty of space left.

Can I clarify @DaveP

 

I can attach anything I want, Its just the search that doesn't work.

 

Is your search is working when you try and attach?

Ah, I get it now. Search (*.mp3, *.doc, *.xls,...) does nothing. When I attached the items in my examples I browsed to them. Sorry.

It's chucking a Javascript error in their implementation of a React handler as soon as you hit enter after inputting a search term... "Error: Filepicker: Start search should not be called with a provider that does not support search"

 

Essentially, broken at MS' end. Nothing you can do.

Thanks Marci, this is good to know, I found some threads of people complaining about how useless the search was but not necessarily saying it was outright broken.
