Searching using search_v2 not searching in all directory
When i use the api search_v2 to search for a file by file name it do search only on the APP Folder that was created by api, and it does not search in the whole Dropbox.
Any solution for this?
Thanks to Здравко for helping troubleshoot this.

Thank you.I did personalised the dropbox app and unchecked all team options.
After doing that i still can not retrive results from shared folder?

Did you reissue the token in use? 🧐 Take in mind that token caches the permissions state and any change is NOT retroactive!

Yes sure i did generate new token

Ok... Try investigate what's wrong now... Is there some error?... Are you able reach to/list the file in interest?...

No errors at all:
am sending this data:{"match_field_options": {"include_highlights": false},"options": {"max_results": 300},"query": "Hans Gustafson"} - Здравко4 years agoLegendary | Level 20
😁 And... Ok, be more initiative...
I can't guess what's the result!!! Again, are you able list (within your application) the target file where you know "Hans Gustafson" resides in (in particular)?
By the way, "include_highlights" default value is False, so it's meaningless here.
