Way to search by property value?
I am assigning a custom property value to a file. Is there a way to search by it? I don't see property groups in your search example for:

How do I make sure that my query only matches a property group value?
For searching by file property value, use /2/file_properties/properties/search instead: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#file_properties-properties-search

No, that functionality doesn't offer a path filter, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
Ok, I am thinking that to get around it, I would have to create a separate template id for each path and then limit search to that template ID via "template_filter": "id_here". BUT then I might run into "too_many_templates" error. How many is too many? What's that number?

We don't have the specific number documented, but alternatively you can use /2/file_properties/properties/search as-is and filter the results in your code based on the returned PropertiesSearchMatch.path field.
