9 years agoThe search functionality doesn't support searching for files with one or more of the search terms. It works by searching for all of them. We'll consider this a feature request.
Instead, you should either make multiple search calls, one per file type, or use listFolder and listFolderContinue to list all files in a given folder, and filter them as desired.

Thanks Greg for the QuickReply. Currently i am using ListFolder and it will take some if the folder has 10000 files or more. What i am trying to do is to load limited files for better UI experiences for eg: 100 and another set of 100 files only when user demands. Is any options for listing files with limit in ListFolder API?
