Java SDK metadata search files available not found

Hi,

We have a problem searching files by metadata.
In the java SDK I get 4 files returned, I expected to find 14. These 10 files are available complete with the correct template and metadata in the Box web app. We have also a .NET application with the Box .NET SDK implemented and there the files are found and downloaded. 
The files that are "skipped" in the search are from 8 and 9 december 2021.
Very strange situation, what can be wrong? 

Kind regards,

Marcel

    Hello, 

    Hmm. That is very odd. Can you send me the code you are running for both .net and java? I'm interested in comparing them. 

    Thanks,

    Hello Alex,

    The code is simple:

    Java version

    BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(this.api);
    BoxSearchParameters boxSearchParameters = new BoxSearchParameters();
    PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> totaalResultaat = new PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info>(0, 200, 200);

    // metadata filter opbouwen
    BoxMetadataFilter metaDataFilter = new BoxMetadataFilter();
    boxSearchParameters.clearParameters();
    boxSearchParameters.setType("file");

    // Voeg de criteria toe aan het filter
    metaDataFilter.setScope("enterprise");
    metaDataFilter.setTemplateKey(template);

    metaDataObject.keySet().forEach(keyStr ->
    {

    Object keyValue = metaDataObject.get(keyStr);
    String filterItem = BoxMetadataHashtable.getMetadataVeldSleutel(DMGStringLib.naarCamelCase(keyStr.toString())).getKey();

    metaDataFilter.addFilter(filterItem, keyValue.toString());
    });
    boxSearchParameters.setMetadataFilter(metaDataFilter);

    zoekResultaat = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, boxSearchParameters);


    .NET version


    public async Task<BoxCollection<BoxItem>> searchFilesByMetaData(BoxClient boxClient, Dictionary<string, object> searchCriteria, string templateName)
    {

    var mdFilter = new BoxMetadataFilterRequest()
    {
    TemplateKey = templateName,
    Scope = "enterprise",
    Filters = searchCriteria
    };

    // Initiate search
    return await boxClient.SearchManager.QueryAsync("", mdFilters: new List<BoxMetadataFilterRequest>() { mdFilter }, type: "file");
    }

    Regards,

    Marcel
