Dropbox StaffTo confirm, you're observing (1) that the search endpoint is returning a deleted folder when you specify active content only, and (2) that the returned search result also reporting that it is not deleted?
I'm not able to reproduce that behavior. A couple questions:
- How are you sure that the deleted folder is actually deleted? Is it possible you have similarly named folders? I would look to compare the result of files/get_metadata with the search result's metadata to ensure we have the same path / id / status.
