Hi!

I'm writing to you with very specific problem, search feature does not work for the account testerembee@gmail.com. It does not work both in OneDrive and using Microsoft Graph API.
On OneDrive app (both web and android), I get no results.

Using API, for the following request:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/<driveId>/items/root/search(q='book') // Or any other query

I get the following response:

{
  "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#Collection(microsoft.graph.driveItem)",
  "value": []
}

Is it possible for account to be banned from searching?

PS. I've checked on my second account, and searching works for both API and apps.

    Hi @Embee

    As far as I know, there is no policy to prohibit search for users. After many tests, I found that the /search endpoint only works for work accounts, and it will return an empty array for personal accounts, even if the files I searched for do exist in the current personal OneDrive.

    I recommend that you submit a user voice to report this issue.

    Hope this helps.
