What is the to_search parameter? Looking at the documentation here: 

https://developer.box.com/reference/get-search/

It's never mentioned. I have no clue what that error is telling me to do.

    Nevermind, I see it...I made an assumption about my code that wasn't true. However, this error message is very misleading. It should be: 

    "query" parameter is required. Not "to_search" parameter is required.
