The above solution is assuming you are using the iCloud tools (the iCloud Drive folder in Finder) to search iCloud Drive, not the web browser tool.

How To Search A Document On Mac Shortcut

1. In the Terminal, as with all tasks, finding files requires you know how to use a few basic commands. The three that will be most useful in OS X are the “find” command, the “mdfind” command, and the “locate” command. When run, these commands will search for a specific query and then output the full path to all resulting files that fall within the scope of your search.
2. Step 2 Go to Finder, find the unsaved files in the above-mentioned AutoRecover location. Or Go to FinderGo to Folder, input the AutoRecover location to find the files. Step 3 Open the AutoRecover word document with Office Word on Mac, then save the file.

The Search window offers more options and more kinds of searches than the Find toolbar. When you use the Search window, object data and image XIF (extended image file format) metadata are also searched. For searches across multiple PDFs, Acrobat also looks at document properties and XMP metadata, and it searches indexed structure tags when searching a PDF index.

In Windows, this would be the iCloud for Windows application and using File Explorer to search the synced iCloud Drive folder.

From the web browser, there really isn't a search option. The browser tool for iCloud is not full featured in any way and was not designed to be a replacement for any other file management tool.
