Searching SMB Directories in iOS Files App

Is anyone actually able to search when connected to a Shared Folder in iOS Files? I will always get no results when searching, even for a file I know is there.

Search function on finder When I'm connected to a company file server and I use the search function for a particular file it never shows the actual file or file path. Usually an opaque file shows up which is the file name I'm looking for but I can't open it and it doesn't show what subfolder it is hiding in. Is there anyway to fix this finder function to better find file when connect to a server remotely?
