Microsoft Search API search in mentioned sites only

Question

Hi,

I'm using Microsoft Search API(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/search-concept-overview) to search for files in drive. This returns results from multiple sites. I would like to search only in mentioned sites ie mentioned site ids. How can this be achieved?
This is my current request body
{
"requests": [
{
"entityTypes": [
"driveItem"
],
"query": {
"queryString": "sample"
}
}
]
}

Hi @captain_atharv

Can you please try "queryString": "sample AND (Path:https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename1 OR Path:https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename2)" in queryString to get the files.

Option 1-

Below is the sample request:

POST /search/query  
  
 {  
     "requests": [  
         {  
             "entityTypes": [  
                 "driveItem"  
             ],  
             "query": {  
                 "queryString": "sample AND (Path:https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename1 OR Path:https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename2)"  
             }  
         }  
     ]  
 }

Option 2-

Below is the sample request:

POST/search/query  
  
{  
    "requests": [  
        {  
            "entityTypes": [  
                "driveItem"  
            ],  
            "query": {  
                "queryString": "may AND (SiteId:a6424d2a-39c1-471d-af44-5b65d1611889 OR SiteId:e3a2252f-d91d-4c03-a670-682e77bbe8ba)"  
            }  
        }  
    ]  
}  

Please use Site Collection unique ID (GUID) in queryString to get the files.
