/search lists files that do not match the query

Hey Taylor,

you are right the documentation does not mention a full substring match. I my case however I leverage prefix matching on the filenames as stated by the documentation: 'the last token is used for prefix matching'. Since I only give one token in the query string this should match prefix of the file name right?

This may affect the production app as we use the /search api to discover existing accounts for our application in the storage. I have a workaround in place that checks manually if the response is really a prefix match.

I tested again manually and the issue is still present in the Dropbox that I use for integration testing. Worse, the call seems to ignore the path parameter, too. Or is the path matched by prefix too? Documentation says "The path in the user's Dropbox to search. Should probably be a folder."

Request body:

{path: "/tests", query: "testprefix_8753399257_", mode: "filename"}
