searchContinueV2 seems to not work on the last batch it should find
I am using the Java2 SDK to perform a search for directories matching a pattern, then deleting them. The directories are named as:
ROOT_DIR_CONSTANT/p_<YYYYMMDD>/p_<ID 1>_<SUB ID 1>

Thanks but your suggestion wouldn't help in this case anyway. As Greg explained, the Search API isn't guaranteed to return the exact results due to indexing and caching. I didn't know that until his answer. And sure, I could optimize the loop with an OR statement instead of testing at the bottom but that really is just that - perhaps an improvement in readability but nothing that would solve the problem he brought up.
Instead, as he suggested, I will use listFolder to list to the level that I can, then iterate through to find and delete the relevant subdirs.

Hmm... 😁 Are you sure it's something related to the "readability" only?! 😉 Yes, I'm not sure it will solve the issue (in particular), but it's definitely a BUG!!! Sleeping bug, able to "wake up" at some point, at least.
Be careful!
