Search Yandex Disk
You can search for files by their name, content, extensions, or properties, as well as by the names of the folders containing them.
To do this, enter the query in the search box above the list of files and press Enter or click the 
icon.
If you don't find the file you need, make sure that the words are written correctly, try to reduce the number of words in the search query, or check the Trash.
Search suggestions
If you don't remember the full name of the file, start typing it, and Yandex Disk will suggest available options. Yandex Disk will also suggest your past search queries.
What else can I type in the search bar
File name and extension, folder name
Name of a file from an archive
File name and extension, folder name
You will be able to find the file you need even if its name contains underscores, hyphens, or periods. For example, if you search for alice list, the results will include Alice_list.pdf, Alice-list.pdf, and Alice.list.pdf.
The search function takes English morphology into account. For example, with the search query report you will find a file with the name "Corrections to the report for September" or "Comparison of reports for August and September".
If there is an error or typo in your search query, the search function will correct it. For example, you will find the file called "document" even if you entered doxument or вщсгьуте (using the wrong keyboard layout) in the search query.
In order to find files with a specific extension, enter the extension or the file name and extension in the search bar. You can also enter the name of a file or folder. For example, if you search for cheshire jpg, you will find photos that are stored in your "Cheshire Cat" folder.

Can I search through other people's files on Yandex Disk?
