$search query parameter is not returning all results

Question

Hi folks,

We are not getting consistent results when using the $search query parameter on Graph messages. When we search with from and to properties (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$search="to:testtaxdome0.staging@gmail.com+AND+from:alex@outlook.com"&$top=20) we don't get all results.

But when we search only with to property and manually filter from values (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$search="to:testtaxdome0.staging@gmail.com"&$top=20) we get a lot more results.

Thanks for your help!

Answer

Hello Kasun Bandara,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Support!

You have two different requests with different recipient addresses, one for test.staging@gmail.com and the other for testtaxdome0.staging@gmail.com. If so, inconsistent query results are the expected behavior.

See the documentation for more information about the $search query parameters:

Hope this helps.

@Yakun Huang-MSFT thanks for responding. Sorry for my misspelling error, the recipient addresses should be the same. So testtaxdome0.staging@gmail.com for both.

We still get different results.
