Microsoft Search does not work as expected with large numbers of results

Question

catmanjan 106

Consider the following search: User's image

There's a few things wrong here, we have way more than 1348 documents, so the total should be much higher.

Also, I have requested items number 1318 to 1328, but only one hit is being returned.

Thank you for reaching out!This is a known limitation based on the documentation. From the screenshot you have shared above, it appears the queryString is an asterisk (*). As per the official documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/search-concept-files#known-limitations), when searching for drive, you need to include in the queryString a term contained in the name of the document library. Querying * is not supported and does not return all available drives. I hope this clarifies.

Testing specifically drive item- only drive has a known limitation for now. Will revert back on results.
