there isnt a search function.

anyone know of a good app that has this?

thanks

The standard Dropbox app does have a search function, which is located at dropbox folder overview at the top, it even appears when browsing through folders. The search is always at the top of the file/folder overview. I feel like we are talking about different apps here

Edit:

When opening Dropbox, this is how it looks like and it shows the search function on the top left corner. Perhaps you just haven't scrolled to the top of the file/folder overview?

If office2 hd let's the user search through dropbox documents, than I have not said anything.

There's a new app that might really help you called TopicLogic. It auto-tags all your data in dropbox and makes it accessible in topic groups and hierarchies on your iPhone or iPad.

I use it and I am able to find and view documents so easily now!
