Hi VijayKumar E,

Supported Dropbox API deals with information available to the user only (no for internal use by Dropbox). In many cases different files and/or folders may have not path (either yet or removed). Such cases can be summarized as all entries (again files and/or folders) that are not mounted. For example if you have something shared to you but not yet accepted sharing. Another example could be deleted file/folder (but not yet permanently - i.e. it's still in trash bin), etc. The same is valid for all endpoints that deal with metadata - not only search.

Hope this helps.
