To be clear, it was finding the files, it was not selecting them. It would only open the enclosing folder but would not highlight the file/document within the folder as it did before.
For instance, I have the Box Sync folder which contains all my client folders (with files in this folders). Now, if I search for the folder for a particular client by typing "find last name", the Box Sync folder opens but the client folder is not highlighted. Before, I could do a search with Find and it would open the Box Sync folder and take me right to my client's folder. I have hundreds of clients so it was very useful. I use the "Open" command (space before my search term) and it finds folders beautifully. However, if I do that for a document, it will, of course, open the document. I don't always want that. I'd prefer "finding" it with the Find command b/c sometimes I want to act ON the file and not IN the file.
In other words, FIND used to work for Folders and documents/files. Now, it works for documents/files only.
OPEN works great for folders for me but I don't always want to open documents/files.
My workaround is to use the OPEN command for folders and FIND for documents/files.
FIND used to just work for both.
Now that I've made my explanation potentially more circuitous and long, do you recommend I still follow your previous suggestion? I don't want to "break" what now currently works.
Thanks Andrew!
