Graph API /Site?Search={query} not returning One Drive For Business sites

Question

Hi There,

We are eDiscovery company and wanting to provide functionality where Admin user can get all the share point sites of the specified custodian.

We have a large number of sites available in an organization

Calling the /sites API would not help as we have to page and get all the sites to search for a specific site.

We came across**/Sites?Search={query}** API documentation which resolved our concerns about searching the sites.

To make sure we used /Site?Search=* to fetch all the sites and to our surprise, we are not getting One Drive For Business sites in the searching API, however we are getting those in /sites.

We even tried using the keywords /Site?Search=test for One Drive For Business site however we are still not able to get the One Drive For Business sites.

Please help us further on this as we want to only use /Sites?Search={query}  API using application permission to search all the sites in an organization.

Hi @Casepoint Developer

Per my test, I am able to get ondrive site by GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites. You can refer to the following document

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/site-list?view=graph-rest-1.0

In my case, I am unable to retrieve One Drive For Business sites by GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites?search={query}.

The api only returns the collection of drives (document libraries) under this site. You can refer to the following document
