Python files_search - Inconsistent returns

Hi I have a folder with the following files:

When I do the following search:

It finds just the file with modification date of 2021-10-28. If I keep running the same query, eventually it returns:

In this results we have both files.

If I keep doing the same query, the results will keep changing. It is not related with recent changes in the file, because this same problem was happening with a file that was modified more than 24h ago. In this example, it has passed 2h since last update in the file.

Can you assist on this?

Thanks for the report. Can you try switching to files_search_v2/files_search_continue_v2 and let me know if you do or don't see the issue with that as well?

Hi Greg,

I still observe the same behaviour using the files_search_v2:

Note: Here the result is 3 or 4 because it finds some files that are in a "Backup" folder, while we specified the folder "RESEARCH" in the first example with `files_search`.

I believe I don't need to use the `files_search_continue_v2` as I have few search results.

Some additional data:

dropbox Version: 11.22.0

Windows 10 Pro Version: 10.0.18362.0

Python version: 3.7.7

Thanks for checking that! We'll look into it.
