    <description>It generally will only be on the scale of seconds to minutes, and not hours, but it can vary and be longer across different accounts and over time due to several factors, such as the amount of activity in the account, any server issues on our side, etc.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, i am using the dropbox api long time and didn't have any problems, expect of this one. In one of my tests i uploaded some files through the api and one of them i can't find it afterwards through the search method. The list_revisions method for the same path and filename returns two entries, but the search nothing. Why this is happening? I am using the search method as a confirmation that all my files where uploaded correctly (so i can try again later to upload). If you need more details about which specific path and file has the problem please tell me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you in advance for any help.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-search" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/search endpoint&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;is subject to a delay due to indexing, so newly uploaded files won't be immediately returned. That being the case, I don't&amp;nbsp;recommend using this to verify newly uploaded files.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You don't need to&amp;nbsp;call back to check that anyway though, as you can just check the response from the upload call itself to see if it succeeded or failed. If you want to though, using&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_metadata" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/get_metadata&lt;/A&gt; or&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt;[&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_self"&gt;/continue&lt;/A&gt;] would be better as they're not subject to the delay.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you very much for your answer and your suggestions. I know that the search method can not be accurate cause of delay for indexing and i will reconsider my implementation, but still i don't believe it needs hours. Right now i checked again and still gives me no match while i can see this file entry correctly from the list_folder method.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
