search-onedrive-files
search-onedrive-filesRead-only
Locate files in Microsoft OneDrive or SharePoint drives by name, metadata, or content. Returns matching items with ID, name, and web URL for quick retrieval.
Instructions
Search the hierarchy of items for items matching a query. You can search within a folder hierarchy, a whole drive, or files shared with the current user.
đź’ˇ TIP: Searches for files in a drive by name or content. The q parameter searches file names, metadata, and file content. Returns matching driveItems with id, name, webUrl, size, lastModifiedDateTime. Use list-drives first to get the drive-id.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | Yes | Value for the 'q' path segment. | |
| top | No | Page size (Graph $top). Start small (e.g. 5–15) so responses fit the model context; raise only if needed. Use $select to return fewer fields per item. For more rows, use @odata.nextLink from the response instead of a very large $top. | |
| skip | No | Items to skip for pagination. Not supported with $search. | |
| count | No | Set true to enable advanced query mode (ConsistencyLevel: eventual). Required for complex $filter on flag/flagStatus or contains(). | |
| expand | No | Navigation properties to inline, e.g. attachments on a message or event. Only navigation properties can be expanded: expanding a non-navigation property such as a message body fails with "Parsing OData Select and Expand failed", and an unsupported value may be ignored rather than reported. Request ordinary fields with $select instead. | |
| filter | No | OData filter expression. Add $count=true for advanced filters (flag/flagStatus, contains()). Cannot combine with $search. | |
| search | No | KQL search query — wrap value in double quotes. Cannot combine with $filter. | |
| select | No | Comma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime | |
| driveId | Yes | Value for the 'driveId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'driveId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the drive object as returned by Microsoft Graph. | |
| orderby | No | Sort expression, e.g. receivedDateTime desc | |
| fetchAllPages | No | Follow @odata.nextLink and merge up to 100 pages into one response. Can return enormous payloads—only when the user explicitly needs a full export. Prefer a small $top first, then paginate or narrow with $filter/$search. | |
| includeHeaders | No | Include response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata | |
| excludeResponse | No | Exclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication |
