One search box looks in OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams at once.
Microsoft 365 has one search that covers your OneDrive, the SharePoint sites and Teams you belong to, and files shared with you.
Where to search
- The Microsoft 365 home page at microsoft365.com: the search box at the top.
- Inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook or Teams: the search box at the top of the window, or press Alt + Q.
How to search
- Type a word or two you remember. Words from the file's name or contents both work.
- Press Enter to search everything you can access, not just recent files.
- Select Files to see only files, then use the filters to narrow it down.
Tips that save time
- Add the type of file: “budget spreadsheet” or “proposal Word.”
- Search an exact phrase by putting it in quotes: “board meeting notes.”
- Add a person's name if you remember who wrote or shared it.
- Type “my files” to see what you've worked on recently.
- Too few results? Remove a word or a filter, or try a different word for the same thing.
