Searching for a file by name - why is there no “search” panel for a client who is not logged in? We share a public folder with thousands of files and you search for them… manually. In owncloud 10 it’s not there but it’s a new tool and still far away.
The reason for this rather technical: Search endpoints are not public endpoints. You need to be logged in as search service will check your permissions.
It’s recommended to use a share instead of a public link in such cases. Search works there and you also have an audit trail.
That being said: Making search available also for public links is not impossible, it just not on any roadmap as it wasn’t requested until now.
