Details

The Box API supports a maximum of 200 results per request. If max > 200, then multiple requests will be sent to retrieve and combine 'paginated' results for you, behind the scenes.

See the box.com search description for details of the features of the service. Some notable details:

• Full-text searching is the default

  • available for many source code file types, but not R scripts.

  • by default Box seaches by word/token and uses the OR operation e.g. box_search("this that") is equivilant to box_search("this OR that")

• Reserved words for boolean operations

  • AND, OR, and NOT (uppercase only) are interpreted as special context e.g. box_search("NOT this"), box_search("this AND that")

• Exact phrases can be matched

  • by surrounding them with double quotation marks e.g. box_search('"this exact phrase"') or box_search("\"this exact phrase\"")

• Searchability is not instantaneous

  • it can take >10 minutes for a newly uploaded file to become findable

Value

Object with S3 class boxr_object_list.
