How to search for files on iCloud.com?

Anyone finds a hidden file search when using iCloud.com to find files? Numbers, pages.. There is a recent, date ect filter, no search. When you have many files, scrolling through looking is a bit slow. This is a basic feature I can't see why they haven't implemented. Using the browser search doesn't work either especially if there are pages of files.

Limit search to specific folders in Files app? (iOS and iPadOS) Is there a way to limit my search to only within a specific folder in the Files app? When the results come up, the files can by anywhere and there’s nothing that helps me know where each of the files are located. This of course is useful when I’m getting too many results and need to narrow them to specific folder(s). I think I read this is only a feature on the Mac. If that’s the case, it blows me away that iCloud & Files can’t handle such a basic search feature. How can I request this feature?

Saved Files not Appearing in Finder Dear Forum, When i save files from a 'Save' dialog, in this instance now its from a downloaded bank statement, the save window shows the saved file, but going to finder, the file is not there.?!!?! The file is not listed in 'recent' either. Saving the file again, so invoking the save dialog, the save dialog shows the file in the place i placed it. Files being saved are being saved in an icloud folder. Any thoughts?

iCloud fail to upload all selected files in a browser window iCloud does not upload all files dragged and dropped to a folder in a browser window. iCloud does not upload all files selected using the upload icon at the top of the iCloud folder screen in a browser window. This happens regardless of what Mac is used (iMac, Mac mini, MacBook Air) and regardless of what browser (Firefox, Safari). For example, if there are 590 files selected to be uploaded, only 543 will actually be uploaded. Sometimes an error message pops up, but most of the time it does not. When it does pop up, often it will only note the name of one or two files instead of all those that did not upload. Comparing the files in an open window of iCloud on a browser to an open Finder window of the same files to determine the missing files is frustrating at best and nearly impossible in all practicality. Is there a way to tell iCloud to not upload duplicates to a folder? This would be a help, but would also be an impractical solution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I feel as if I am unable to use what I am paying for. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: iCloud upload regularly fails

Hello!

iCloud.com does not currently have a search feature. There is no word from Apple if this will ever become a feature. For now, if you have an Apple device, you can search through iCloud using Finder or the Files app.

Hope this helps.

Best,
