We want to fetch a user based on partial search for example if this is the exact search
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=mailNickName eq 'NLBBAN1'
This should be the partial search
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=contains(mailNickName , 'BBAN')
or

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=mailNickName has 'BBAN'

but none of them is working. Please let me know the correct way of doing the same.

    The Graph API supports StartsWith, EndsWith and Contains operators for this, as detailed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/filter-query-parameter?tabs=http#operators-and-functions-supported-in-filter-expressions

    Be aware that not every property will support said operators though.
