Odata query for outlook rest api

Question

How to use search and filter in the same query?

String url = "https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/messages?$filter=ReceivedDateTime ge 2016-02-22&$select=Subject,From,Body,ReceivedDateTime&$search=\"subject:(Chris Brown OR Michael Jackson)\"";

I need to find all mails with Subject having either "Chris Brown" or "Michael Jackson" and mail received date after 22nd Feb, 2016. Also it should have Subject, From, Body, ReceivedDateTime in the REST response.

Could anyone please help?

FYI - I am getting output if it has either filter or search. But when given together, I am getting a "Bad Request" error.

Right now this is not supported. From Use OData query parameters:

You cannot use $filter or $orderby in a search request.

So, the only way to do this is to perform a search via a query, and then filter on the client; or vice versa.

Update

In this particular case, since subject is filtrable and supposedly you only need an exact subject match (and not 'contains' for example), you can use something along the lines of:

https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/messages?$filter=(ReceivedDateTime ge 2016-02-22) and ((subject eq 'Chris Brown') or (subject eq 'Michael Jackson'))
