I use Google Drive with multiple accounts. How can I search for something across all of these accounts?

Have not tried this but there seems to be a product that does what you are asking: cloudfuze.com/access-google-drive-multiple-accounts – Low Kian Seong Mar 23 '15 at 5:21

This remains a huge weakness of Gdrive imo. – daknowles Oct 13 at 17:09
Short answer
Share the all the files and folders from the accounts that holds the files with the account that you want to use for searching.
How to
- Use a folder as a "Master Archive", so its's sharing settings will be propagated to all the files and folders added or moved to it.
- Select one of your account as the "master account"
- Create a folder to be used as a "Master Archive" in your "master account" and share it with editor access to your other account.
- At each account move the "Master archive" of step [2] to "My Unit"
- Move or add your files and folders to the "Master archive" of step [2].
Alternatives
- Use a third-party app.
