Using Microsoft Graph client sdk how would you use search Odata query

Question

Using Microsoft Graph client sdk how would one go about using search Odata query to lookup if subject or body contains a certain search term.

The $search Odata query parameter is available in the Graph Client api, but i could not find how to use the parameter using the client sdk for c#.

Answer 1

You can add any query parameters by passing in a list of QueryOptions to the Request method.

List<QueryOption> options = new List<QueryOption>
{
     new QueryOption("$search", "lunch")
};
var messages = await client.Me.Messages.Request(options).GetAsync();

Answer 2

Piggybacking off of @JohnStaurt's comments above, this worked for me:

List<QueryOption> options = new List<QueryOption>
{
     new QueryOption("$search", "\"displayName:team\" OR \"description:team\"")
};
