Files in iCloud do not appear when I search for them

Some of the files I know I have in my iCloud Drive are not showing up when searching for them.


For example, I have 2 files that contain "worktime" in this folder (some in another folder). Manually looking for them, I can find both of them:



But now in search, the other one is not found:



Even if I search all of "iCloud Drive" or just the folder I know it's in "Numbers":



Is this a bug? It's incredibly frustrating when I'm trying to find a file I know I should have while I'm on the go. I have to wait until I'm home again to search for it on a real computer to actually get anything done.. I thought perhaps it could only search files that were downloaded on the device, but obviously this isn't true because it returns one file that hasn't been downloaded to my phone in the results, just not all of them?

I should note that I've also tried searching for this file inside the iOS Numbers app as well, but the same bug occurs.
