Hi everyone,

I want to migrate our team Wiki to Box. However, Box does not find content in documents. I can provide access to current data so you can see for yourself.

Regards, Ulf

    Hi Ulf, 

    Welcome to the Box Community and thanks for your post in the forum!

    Search content within a file or full text search feature is disabled by default and can be enabled at the request of the Primary admin of your Box if you are part of an Enterprise level account. You might want to reach out to your internal help desk to see if this is something your company needs to be enabled.

    For more information, please visit Search for Files, Folders and Contents. 

    Thanks again for your participation in Box Community!

    Regards, 

    France

    Hello, not sure if this is being monitored. The link provided doesn't describe how to enable full text search, as the admin. Are those instructions available? Also, the link provided states that the content search is limited to 10,000 characters, which isn't that much. Is there a way to search longer documents?
