Hi Goldmine, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

You can navigate to a folder on the site, and then when you search, it will be limited to that folder.

Thanks for the info, for any API queries, It needs to be in the appropriate forum, so I'll move this post there.

Goldmine Using the options.path parameter on /2/files/search_v2 is the right way to restrict the search to a particular folder. (By the way, the API v2 Explorer can be useful for trying out calls like this.) I just tried that and it is working for me. If that doesn't appear to be working for you, please share the code and parameters you're using, along with the unexpected output, so we can look into it for you. Be sure to redact the access token though. If you'd prefer to share privately, you can open an API ticket here.
