Is this a bug? SEARCH box not starting from current folder... instead starting from ROOT/Home

I'm not sure if there's just a configuration that needs to be set.  The Search box for PBIRS is searching from Root/Home and not on from the current folder location and traverse down.  Some users don't have "Browser Role" on Home but only has browser role in subfolders.  How do you configure the SEARCH functionality to start from the current location and cascade down to its subfolders?  Users are getting user permission issue because the search function is starting at HOME and it doesn't have the role set at that level.

 

Please help... thanks.

    Yes, you are right. It seems to search from the Root folder and all

     

    you can report this issue at

    https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues

     

    Also to overcome the situation, you can give access to all domain users to the root folder usually there is a group  "MyDomain\Domain Users" maintained in Active Directory.
