SearchType

Search Type (For UI Only - Default=Recursive - i.e. Blank)

Option	Value
Recursive All Files (Keep Blank) - not supported for Application Credentials with Sites.Selected Scope
Non-Recursive / Children All Files (Only for Non-Shared Items)	children
Recursive *.xlsx Files - For User Creds Only	search(q='.xls')
Recursive *.csv Files - For User Creds Only	search(q='.csv')
Recursive *.json Files - For User Creds Only	search(q='.json')
Recursive Custom Extension Files - For User Creds Only	search(q='.myext')

NOTE: Not Supported with Application Credentials which uses Sites.Selected Scope. If you do not wish to see files from child folders then use Non-Recursive option. Recursive option has certain limitations (e.g. Only indexed files will appear so it takes time to show up in the list). If you do not see some files listed in the output then use Non-Recursive option (must specify Parent Folder Path in SearchPath property).

SearchPath

Search Folder (For UI Only - Helps to narrow down File Selection DropDown) - Max 200 Listed

This parameter is only for UI. Select this to narrow down File List Dropdown. Select Search Folder first and then select File List dropdown to see new File list (found under this selected folder).
