Dropbox Business API search by file name

Hi, I need to search for a file by it name in team directories. At the moment it searches in the personal directory only and I cannot find a solution. Here is my last API request:

curl -X POST "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/search" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer flxOQ8bIfzAAAAAAAAABR_XTx_ESr_token_here" \
--header "Dropbox-API-Select-User: dbmid:AACGPjntA0nzliQDLHp_team_member_id" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"path":"","query":"filename.jpg"}'
