Hi Greg-DB,
Thanks fast reply, I understand 100%.
You are perfectly correct, I moved my files to the other path, where was picked up by SeachV2 API, also other my duplicated (for testing) files were ignored. It looked strange, but your information explained all these cases.
I improve my code with your advice.
Many thanks!
