I am attempting to build a powerapp on top of a sharepoint list that can do both full text searching of documents and filter by metadata in the document library.
I am currently stuck on being able to search by the contents of documents in the library. I am able to search for documents via the UI, but cannot do so via the API.
My URL in the UI looks like so : https://XXX.sharepoint.com/sites/TestSite/Test%20Library/Forms/AllItems.aspx?view=7&q=banana
Where I have a word document with the text "banana" inside of it.
This returns without issue. I assumed that I could do the following to atleast search everywhere for the word banana within my site (Before narrowing it down to my document library).
https://XXX.sharepoint.com/sites/TestSite/_api/search/query?queryText='banana'
However this never returns any results (Although it does return a huge XML document).
If I search for my name, I do get results back because I presume it's returning users and other metadata related to my profile, but for the life of me I cannot seem to get document library full text search working through the API.
