Support filtering messages by body content

Question

I've constructed the query below on Graph Explorer and got no messages in reply. My query.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders('Inbox')/messages?$filter=subject eq '*****' and contains(body/content, '****')&$top=10

Do I understand correctly that a construct like 'contains(body/content, '****')' verifies that the body contains the object I specified? And the whole body of the object shouldn't just consist of it?

Answer 1

I don't think the body.content field is supported as filter item. In your case I think you may be better off with a search.

Try Search with filters and see if it gives what you are looking for.

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/search/query  
{  
    "requests": [  
        {  
            "entityTypes": [  
                "message"  
            ],  
            "query": {  
                "queryString": "subject:'Lunch' AND somestring-that-will-match-content"  
            }  
        }  
    ]  
}
