Search across a SharePoint tenant sites: The query parameter '$search' is not supported

Tieming Sun 1 Microsoft Employee

Hi, I'm from SharePoint migration team.

We are using graph API to search across a tenant's site. Starting from yesterday, graph API continuously gives 400 bad requests, saying the query parameter '$search' is not supported. However, according to the tutorial, it should be supported: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/site-search?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

Wondering if it's a bug?

@Tieming Sun I just tried searches on a couple different tenants and I didn't have any issues.

Hi @Tieming Sun ,
Per my test, the API runs well and return 200. Please check the Permission first.

The personal Microsoft account is not supported.

Thanks for your response!

The account I'm using is a test SharePoint tenant account, claimed at http://spotenantspy/HeartbeatTenants.aspx , not a personal one. Besides GET\sites, my team also uses GET\groups and GET\users, sharing the same bearer token, both of them work well.

Could you help me to know what this means? Note: This method does not support the Sites.Selected application permission. I didn't find the doc introducing this permission. And it could be better if letting me know what has been updated to this page, thanks! https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/site-search?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

Hi @RaytheonXie_MSFT , I tested on graph API explorer. It seems the error persists. ( I use a delegated account with right permissions )

Hi @Tieming Sun ,
Could you test the api in other sites. I think there might be something wrong in setting
