Thang2000 As Здравко said, the error you're getting is because of the extra "/" you have at the end of your "path" value. Remove that extra slash to get that to work.

 

The Dropbox Java SDK offers the same search functionality.

 

As for searching by tags only, unfortunately the Dropbox API (regardless of which SDK you're using, if any) doesn't currently offer an option for restricting the search to match tag values only, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
