search-onedrive-files
search-onedrive-filesRead-only
Search files in Microsoft OneDrive by name, metadata, or content using a query. Returns matching items with details like id, name, webUrl.
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 |
