The addition of the search only in the folder and having to click "everywhere" to change has been a very inconvenient change that I and many co-workers that I also work with that use box has degraded the overall user experience as well as added tedious/unnecessary clicking each time we would like to search for something within box. A simple suggestion that I have thought of would to either remove the addition of this as a whole or adjust it so that everywhere is searched by default and if the user wants to search only a specific folder, then allow them to click on this option.

I would like to request the same - The added search filter (in current folder) is very inconvenient, in addition, when I click "everywhere" it does nothing.  This has caused a decreased in work flow. Please remove this feature and revert back to original search option with the option to change search settings.

We've been begging for months and months.  Give our default back please!!!
If I'm in a folder I NEVER need to search that folder.  I use search to find the next folder for the next project or case that arises.

Sadly, I don't think they will ever change this.

I truly don't know who can't make this as easy as deciding within settings if you would like this feature active or not.
