File search method returns no match
Hi, i am using the dropbox api long time and didn't have any problems, expect of this one. In one of my tests i uploaded some files through the api and one of them i can't find it afterwards through ...
The /2/files/search endpoint is subject to a delay due to indexing, so newly uploaded files won't be immediately returned. That being the case, I don't recommend using this to verify newly uploaded files.
You don't need to call back to check that anyway though, as you can just check the response from the upload call itself to see if it succeeded or failed. If you want to though, using /2/files/get_metadata or /2/files/list_folder[/continue] would be better as they're not subject to the delay.

Thank you very much for your answer and your suggestions. I know that the search method can not be accurate cause of delay for indexing and i will reconsider my implementation, but still i don't believe it needs hours. Right now i checked again and still gives me no match while i can see this file entry correctly from the list_folder method.
