I had been using the JavaScript interface in node.js to search for target folders based on the current date with format "mm-dd-yyyy".  This had been working fine for a few months.  However, I noticed that it missed this folder:

/base folder/subfolder/11-16-2021

 

I was querying based on "11-16-2021". However, this did not show up in the results.  Just wondering if this is a bug or is it something that I can do to fix it.

 

This problem is also in the web interface.  When searching for "11-16-2021", this folder did not show up.  Other folders seems to be fine.

Due to indexing delays, sometimes new changes may not immediately be returned in search results. The length of the delay is generally short, but sometimes may be longer. Since this is happening on both the API and web site, it sounds like an indexing issue with your account rather than some issue calling the API itself, so I recommend contacting support for help with the search functionality on your account if you're still seeing this issue.
