# Search

[search](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-search)

scope: `files.metadata.read`

Searches for files and folders.
Note: `search:2` along with `search/continue:2` can only be used to retrieve a maximum of 10,000 matches.
Recent changes may not immediately be reflected in search results due to a short delay in indexing. Duplicate results may be returned across pages. Some results may not be returned.
