Hi Michael.
This article has stood the test of time!
I am using the SharePoint Search Rest API but I want to return the file ID (not Document ID) in my search results – is this possible at all?

”
1) SharePoint’s out of the box UI is pretty bad, and
2) SharePoint’s out of the box UI is pretty bad.”
I belive you accidently copied and pasted the first argument as a second argument for SharePoint REST API being a gold mine for front-end developers.
So, what was the second argument?

Hi Michael, great article. I’m trying to filter a query based on the properties in the ‘__metadata’ block (I’m interested in the version, so I’m looking at ‘etag’).
I’ve tried using it with $filter as I have done for other keys, but to no avail: $filter=((etag eq ‘2’)
Any ideas?

/_api/web/lists/getbytitle(‘ListName’)/Items?$filter=((substringof(‘test’,column)))
This will work only for Single line column type and not for multiple line column
The field ‘FIELD NAME’ of type ‘Note’ cannot be used in the query filter expression.
