dropbox api v2 files search returns matches where fname does not match query
using the python sdk
a search with:
dbx.files_search('/Actives', 'f10-13-13.xls')
results in the following matches with meta.path_lower_case:
- u'/actives/zzzzzzz/gh apotheek - f10-13-1185/gh apotheek - f10-13-1185.xls'
- u'/actives/audio techn acq - f10-13-13/audio techn acq - f10-13-13.xlsx'
It is not looking into the content. I was looking for the second, why did he match the first ?

Thanks for the report! We'll look into it.I'm seeing erratic results with the v2 search API as well.
I have the following filenames in my folder:
DaveLogbook.pilotpro Logbook-Dave.pilotpro Logbook.db Logbook.pilotpro PilotPro.db
This search:
$dropbox->search('/', 'Logbook.pilotpro', []);...returns the following files:
Logbook.db ------------------ DaveLogbook.pilotpro ------------------ Logbook-Dave.pilotpro

Clifton L. Are you still seeing "Logbook.db" returned now when searching "Logbook.pilotpro"?
