How to make search in shared files and folders

Hello. How I can implement search for shared files? I try to use https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-search, but it doesn't return shared files. Also I see https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-list_received_files. I think to get all shared files on my side, then find needed. But sharing-list_received_files has limit by 300 files per request. According to above my search wll be slow. Because need to make few request.

    Are you using /2/files/search or /2/files/search_v2? 

     

    If you're using /2/files/search, please migrate to /2/files/search_v2 as it should return received/shared files like this.
