Thanks for the report. I just tried this out though, and I'm not seeing the behavior you describe. Can you share the particular call and output you're making so we can take a look? Be sure to redact the access token and any private information though. Feel free to open an API ticket if you'd prefer to share privately. Thanks in advance!

Hey Greg,

 

Sure thing, here is a few screenshots. 1. being the content_hash example file (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash) showing the correct hash in searchV1. Then a screenshot of search V2 with the same file showing a different hash. Lastly, a completely different installation file showing the same hash using searchv2. We experience this with all searchV2 queries where we get the same hash for all files. 

 

 

Thanks!
