How to search by last modified data and time to fetch recently modified records. Results should contain all the nested children and grand children

Question

We are trying to search for last modified records in SharePoint online by using below search query https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/siteId/drives/driveId/root/search(q='2023-03-27')

But we are not getting accurate match for the date, instead we are getting matches for 2023 as well as part of results.

Our objective is to search by lastModifiedDateTime so that we can manipulate on the modified results. We need al grand children items as well as part of results.

Please suggest on this

Hello @Amitabh Dudekula,

Thanks for reaching out!

You can use search API to query the drive items, you can refer the API from the below screenshot. In the search request body, you can mention the path to scope the query to a particular folder within a site and filter it based on LastModifiedTime. This gives you the customized results based on modified date of an item.
