Searching Drive, including inside files
The search box in Drive looks at file names, folder names and the words inside your files: text in PDFs and design files, and words that appear in images and scans. Results show a snippet of where the match was found.
New uploads become searchable a little after they finish. If an older file does not come up by its contents, search by its name.
