Folder exists but not returned if I do a name search using Box CLI

I'm not sure if this creates a support ticket or just a post in a generic forum, so I won't add any specific details.

I have a folder that definitely exists and has existed for several months. It is possible to navigate to the folder using the Web UI. You can also use the command line tool to do:

box folder:get <ID>"

and see all the folder metadata.

However if I search for the folder name using the box cli tool using say

box search --ancestor-folder-id=<ROOTID> --type=folder """<FOLDERNAME>"""

I get back zero results. I am definitely using the correct ancestor id and using triple quotes on the Windows command line to get quotes around the search term for an exact match. If I get rid of the quotes for a "fuzzy" search I get back some results but the results set does not contain the folder I am looking for. I am also seeing the same results using the Box search web service.

How do I resolve this issue?
