search query parameter is inconsistent between SDK and Graph Explorer #2346Description
Describe the bug
When using Graph Explorer, the API endpoint https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites returns nothing.
With Graph Explorer, it appears that using ?search=* works to return all sites.
When using the SDK, the same endpoint returns sites, and specifying queryParameters.search = "*" throws:
Syntax error: character '*' is not valid at position 0 in '*'.
com.microsoft.graph.models.odataerrors.ODataError: Syntax error: character '*' is not valid at position 0 in '*'.
based on the response:
{
"error": {
"code": "BadRequest",
"message": "Syntax error: character '*' is not valid at position 0 in '*'.",
"innerError": {
"date": "2025-03-31T18:56:12",
"request-id": "f29db1f9-b0d7-4d4b-a724-7599a932bcca",
"client-request-id": "fb1f170c-a4c0-4eb6-bb8c-852e3d3c7762"
}
}
}These inconsistencies (along with issues like #2344 and #2345 ) make it very difficult to sanely develop applications using the MS Graph SDK.
One difference is that I am using cl 60A2 ient cert / secret credentials for the SDK and personal credentials for Explorer. That should not affect the API's functional behavior though.
Expected behavior
APIs should have consistent behavior.
