Query fullText

[Bobby Clowers]

Can you query fullText contains 'something'  in a users drive and it search everything that is owned by and shared with them?   I can't seem to find a answer so I figured I'd ask here. 

Thanks for any info.

Use this: fullquery "..."

By default, GAM starts a query with "'me' in owners", fullquery does not.

I just tried this command

gam redirect csv D:\GAMWork\29233-4.csv user 29233 print filelist fullquery "fullText contains 'proxy'" fields id,name,driveid filepath corpora alldrives

It just pulls files that are in his mydrive.  I know there are a couple of files that are shared with him that contain the search term also.
