The page's title should always be the Snap's name.  For example, File Reader. 

Overview

Use this Snap to search for driveItems by keywords. You can specify the information (fields) you want to view for the search results. You can perform the search operation within your OneDrive as well as your Shared Libraries (document libraries).

Provide a functional overview of the Snap. Do not mention anything about the Snap's internal technology or techniques. The user should be able to understand what the Snap. Include a screenshot of a well-configured Snap 600px.  

Prerequisites

List all prerequisites for using the Snap as a bullet list. Use direct sentences. For example, in case of a Write-type Snap a prerequisite would be that the user must have write access. Include links to external official documentation, if required. Use "None." if there no prerequisites. 

Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines.

Limitations

None.

List all Snap-specific limitations as a bullet list. Limitations can be imposed by the Snap's development environment and also by the endpoint's API. List both. Use direct sentences. Include links to external official documentation, if required. Use "None.: if there are no limitations.  

Known Issues

Snaps in the Microsoft OneDrive Snap Pack have an in-built retry mechanism for failing connections and requests; but, a high volume of requests from a client might reach the throttling threshold. In such scenarios, the Microsoft Graph limits further requests from that client for a period of time and returns an HTTP status code 429 (Too many requests), thereby causing the requests to fail. Hence, we recommend you to keep a check on the number of requests emanating from your client instance.

Snap Input and Output

Type of view: Document/Binary/Both. Get number of views from the Views tab in the Snap. List at least three compatible Snaps in each category. Provide a brief of the input/output required. If the input/output is optional then preface the description with "Optional." For example, "Transaction data complying with the Orderful schema as a JSON document."

Examples

Using Search Snap to find driveItems in OneDrive

Example title must be gerunds in title case.

This Pipeline demonstrates how you can upload a file into OneDrive and then using the Search Snap to find files with similar name based on keywords. It assumes that you have configured your Azure application and the Snap accounts already. The Pipeline uses the following parameters. 

We begin with reading a file using the File Reader Snap and uploading it to a particular location in your OneDrive account. Then, we capture the name of the uploaded file using a Mapper Snap and feed it into the Search Snap as the search query/keyword. The Search Snap finds for the keyword in the OneDrive/Shared Library location provided and retrieves item names that contain the search keyword.

File Reader Snap
Output

We upload the document in File Reader Snap output to a OneDrive folder using the Upload File Snap.

Upload File Snap

Output

Upon successful upload, the Snap displays the file's name in the output. We now connect a Mapper Snap to pass the value in this name field to the Search Snap.

In the Search Snap, you can choose to include/exclude items that contain share permissions using the Include Shared Items check box. You can also select the fields to include in the output for each item retrieved in the search results.
