Function search in O365 can't work in 2025

[Petchpaitooncpall]

Now i use function search then not return value. Can you help fix this bug?

Example Code in python.

file = doc.get_item_by_path(path_onedrive).search(firstname,limit=limit_download, query=None, order_by=order_by_download,batch=None)

And when run code in this function then not return value. I think that function .search can't work.

Please you help fix bug. Thank you.

I've gone through and tested this against my one drive, and the search seems to work 'fine'.

I say 'fine', because when searching a folder below root, it only ever returned Folders that matched the search criteria, which initially made me think it wasn't working because I was searching for text in a file name. When I searched for a folder name it worked fine.

If I searched from the root folder, it would find both files and folders.

This worked exactly the same as via MS Graph Explorer, so the results matched indicating no issue in O365.

It looks like you can do a query against get_items for a folder, which allows for equals and startswith operators. It doesn't seem to support contains.

So something like this works.

query = test_folder.new_query()
query = query.on_attribute("name").startswith("test")
items = list(test_folder.get_items(query=query))
