Sort and search files

Last updated on May 23, 2025

Learn how to search and sort the files saved on Adobe cloud storage by Name, Date Modified, or Size.

  1. On the Acrobat on the web homepage, select Search  and then search your file by name or content.

  2. From the search results, select the file that you want to open or select See more results to view all the files related to your search term.

    The Search tool displays the files related to your search term.
    From the search results, you can select any file to open it. You can also choose to clear the search history.

    Note:

    Starting April 2025, the Search tool will return results only if the keyword is found in the file name or metadata. Files that contain the keyword only in their content will no longer appear in search results.

    This change is due to indexing being paused only for newly uploaded or updated assets in Adobe Document Cloud storageIt does not affect search functionality for files saved on your device, nor does it affect the files stored on Adobe cloud storage.
