Dropbox API Search Not Working

The special characters " " is to do an exact search. It's written in your documentation itself. The problem it was working perfectly just one week back. I don't know what's suddenly gone wrong. Please look into it.

 

It does not even work with chooser. So if I do "SHRIPAL DALAL" it shows all files containing this string on the website. But if I do it in chooser it shows only one file containing this string in the chooser.

 

It's become a nightmare for us now.
