Issue with OneDrive Search Functionality for Partial Matches

Question

I performed a file search within OneDrive using the search method for drive resources.

I attempted to search for a file named "共有テスト". While I am able to retrieve results when using search queries such as "共", "テスト", or "共有テスト", the search does not return any results when I use "共有".

Could you please explain the cause of this issue and also suggest any alternative solutions, such as using the Microsoft Search API?

Best regards.

Hi @石川 敦己

According to the Graph API, you can query all OneDrive files using the $filter query parameter to retrieve files named "共有テスト".

The query request is as follows:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root/children?$filter=startswith(name,'共')

Here are my test results.

For more details, see the link below:
