Mailbox - can't query message "body"

See original GitHub issue

Though subject is easy to query, I don’t see any documented way to query the message body. The obvious approach using mailbox queries does not work. I’ve tried many attributes names for the body, for example:

query = mailbox.new_query('body').contains('word')
query = mailbox.new_query('body_html').contains('word')
query = mailbox.new_query('body_content').contains('word')
query = mailbox.new_query('body/content').contains('word')

All of these attempts return 400 Client Error.

messages = mailbox.get_messages(limit=25, query=query) requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/(omitted@company.com)?%24top=25&%24filter=contains(body%2C+'change') | Error Message: Invalid filter clause

Is there a different attribute to query, or is this a bug?

Okay this works. I can actually make complex search criteria using AND, OR, NOT operators.

mailbox.new_query().search('body:word AND received>=2019-04-05')

Thank you!

Yep, sorry. The graph search example on “received” field only shows a time-less date. And the format is nonstandard. Seems out of sync with the other microsoft APIs.

Well, you can always filter by code.
