I'd like to use the Google Docs (or Google Drive) search box to find files shared with a co-worker. How can I do that?
Use the from:
search operator to search documents shared from someone:
from:name@example.com
Use the to:
search operator to search documents shared to someone:
to:name@example.com
You can also combine them. For example, the following will find your own documents shared with alice@example.com.
from:me to:alice@example.com
Further information on searching can be found here.
Hope this helps.

That did it! One note for anyone else who has this issue: this search seems to be case sensitive. – Andrew Warner Apr 8 '11 at 15:35

all you have to do is know the individual's email, and make sure you only type that person's email
