File search in iCloud web

Is there really NO way to search the Files area in the web/browser version of iCloud?

Asking in late 2022.

(I'm not asking about searching email or notes, but rather the Drive/files.)

Thank you. It’s insane there isn’t even a search by file name feature.

search contents of iCloud (online/via browser ONLY) Hi, I'm wondering how I can search for files located within my iCloud Drive. I realize I can do it through Finder but I'm trying to determine and confirm if the files actually exist in iCloud. Why in the world would iCloud be so limited in its search functionality and data presentation? Want to literally log into my iCloud drive through a browser and verify a particular files existence within iCloud, ensure its version etc. Thx Derek

How to search files within iCloud Drive: via the web interface Even in 2022, it appears that you can't!?!? My first question is: is that true? My second question is: if so, do others in the support community consider this a major flaw in Apple's product? Many use cases where this is absolutely vital. Thanks.

There is no spotlight serching of files in iCloud Drive from www.icloud.com , click on recents and scroll is the only way to move them ( up or down ) .
