Hello everybody,

 

is it possible to use the BOX Search API endpoint...

https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query

 ...to query for files that contain comments?

 

Would be extremely useful, so I am keen to getting your take on this.

Cheers,

Mo

Thanks so much for your patience! I confirmed with our engineering team that if you were to query something like "test", the results would contain all files containing "test" in comments, as well as in the title and content of the file.

Hi, sorry if I was too vague in my question.

 

What I would actually like to query for is all files for which comments exist.

 

Is that possible with the Search endpoint?

 

Thank you!

Mo
