 * I was wondering if any expansion into a search box and submit button (or if you
   wanna get fancy some kind of ajax method to auto populate filenames on key entry,
   though not sure what’s accessible programmatically) would be coming? It seems
   as though you have this functionality (just a search box and button) in the backend
   through the admin configuration in wordpress when searching to link a folder 
   or document, so this would be great to have exposed to users.

 * Thanks for the suggestion, but it’s not something we have in the pipeline I’m
   afraid.
 * It could be useful as a way to use Drive from within WordPress, but unless it
   is somehow restricted to documents that are already embedded in the WordPress
   site, my feeling is that such a feature wouldn’t really integrate very closely
   with WordPress. Linking out to Drive to perform the search seems to make more
   sense to me – you’re probably going to have to do that anyway to view/edit the
   file once you’ve found it, so maybe it makes sense to keep the search functionality
   within Drive itself.
 * I hope this thinking makes some sense, but of course I will still add your suggestion
   to our list for more consideration in the future.
 * If you have further thoughts, especially if you think I’ve misunderstood, please
   email: [contact@wp-glogin.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-functionality-9/contact@wp-glogin.com?output_format=md).
 * Thanks again for making the suggestion – I really appreciate it.
 * Regards,
 * Dan
