I have a large number of documents in a folder in the Files app. Until recently I was able to search for documents by name. For some reason, now search is only giving a “no results” message, even if I can see the doc in the file. I’ve shut and reopened Files and restarted the iPad several times, no change. Any ideas what else I can try? It’s an 8th gen iPad running iOS 14.4
Thanks!
