Issue finding results in Microsoft Graph /me/drive/search endpoint

I'm having a hard time figuring out how the /me/drive/search endpoint matches documents.

When I try /v1.0/me/drive/search(q='myQuery') I receive documents with the name myQuery back. This makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that if try /v1.0/me/drive/search(q='.') I receive a giant list of results from across my organization. It appears that these documents are accessible to me, but when I try to search for one of them by name they don't come up.

Example

  • /v1.0/me/drive/search(q='.') returns many documents, one of which is named "My Test Document"

  • /v1.0/me/drive/search(q='My Test Document') returns no results.

One would expect that the 2nd query returns the same document as the first query.

Solution

  • We've made a change that we believe should help for this specific query. Hopefully you'll get consistent results now!
