search inside a folder returns no results in onedrive.

Question

I'm adding a file search function to my code. Search works fine on root level. But searching inside a folder gives no results.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/*onedrive id*/items/root id/search(q='testseach')

Returns a 200 with the file data.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/*onedrive id*/items/folder id/search(q='testseach') *

Folder id is a driveitem containing the file im looking for.
Returns a 200 and an empty list.

I have tried this search on a Teams drive. There It works as intended and I do get results back on a search inside other folders.

Hi @RobertV

I am not able to replicate your issue its giving me desired output. As you can see I am able to retrieve file present inside Testing Folder in my OneDrive.
