Hi everyone!
I’ve noticed recently within Box if I go to search and if I’m within a folder structure, the default is to search within that folder, rather than to search everywhere.
I’m the Box admin, so is it possible for me to change when searching even if I’m within a folder structure, it doesn’t search within the folder and just searches everywhere by default?
Hi 
Welcome back to the Box Community!
As part of the updated Search Experience that was released in the past, Box has made an update to Search in a folder experience. Please read more details about the release here. This updated experience scopes the search to a folder when a user navigates to a folder and searches for an item. If the user wants to search everywhere in Box and not restrict the scope to only within the folder, the user can choose "Everywhere" in the search box and that will search across all documents the user has access to.
