Folder not returned in through search API

Are there any cases where a team folder would not be returned through the search API (filesSearchV2), but the same folder would be listed in the search results on Dropbox web? (When searching by the same query.)

    Did you properly set the call' root? If not set, the root defaults to logged user' (team member) private folder and everything that can be done (including search) is restricted to there.

      Thanks for the fast response! By "root", do you mean the "path" property of SearchOptions?
