Graph search in SPO page query result truncated

Question

Hi,

I'm doing the following query on a SharePoint site to retrieve latest news :

POST v1.0 https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/search/query

Body
{
"requests": [
{
"entityTypes": [
"listItem"
],
"query": {
"queryString": "PromotedState=2 AND path:\"https://tenant.sharepoint.com/SitePages*\""
},
"from": 0,
"size": 5,
"sortProperties": [
{
"name": "FirstPublishedDate",
"isDescending": true
}
]
}
]
}

The value I want to retrieve is the auto generated content in the field "summary"

Results :

{
"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#Collection(microsoft.graph.searchResponse)",
"value": [
{
"searchTerms": [],
"hitsContainers": [
{
"total": 4,
"moreResultsAvailable": false,
"hits": [
{
"hitId": "DA08628F-692D-4B2C-B4A3-3C2219EC4BCC",
"rank": 1,
"summary": "Comment effectuer la prise en main ? Sélectionnez « Modifier » pour commencer à utiliser ce modèle de base de deux colonnes et mettre l'accent sur le texte et les exemples de la<ddd/>",
"resource": {
"@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.listItem",
"fields": {
"title": "TEST1234",
"firstPublishedDate": "2021-04-22T17:43:09Z"
}

As you can see the Summary field appears to be truncated after 170 characters instead of the 255 characters available :

Result from the query :
Comment effectuer la prise en main ? Sélectionnez « Modifier » pour commencer à utiliser ce modèle de base de deux colonnes et mettre l'accent sur le texte et les exemples de la<ddd/>

Value stored in the field from SPO:
Comment effectuer la prise en main ? Sélectionnez « Modifier » pour commencer à utiliser ce modèle de base de deux colonnes et mettre l'accent sur le texte et les exemples de la mise en forme du texte. Avec votre page en mode d’édition, sélectionnez…

Any idea how to return the full string ?

Hey @Samuel Lévesque !

You should select the fields you need. In this case, the summary field is truncated by default and only focuses on the main part of the description. This could also be from the content of the page in some scenarios. To ensure you are getting back the Description field from search, please include the "description" field in the retrieved fields, like this :

{  
    "requests": [  
        {  
            "entityTypes": [  
                "listItem"  
            ],  
            "query": {  
                "queryString": "PromotedState=2 AND path:\"https://tenant.sharepoint.com/SitePages*\""  
            },  
            "fields": [  
                "id",  
                "name",  
                "contentclass",  
                "title",  
                "description"  
            ]  
        }  
    ]  
}  

Hope this works for you!
