C# example through microsoft graph explorer says undefined method

Question

Your c# example for https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/people?$search="jesper"

GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient( authProvider );

var people = await graphClient.Me.People
.Request()
.Search("jesper")
.GetAsync();

Error I'm getting:

not sure if this is meant to happen but seems wrong that you cant use the search function https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer

Yes, you're absolutely right. Those snippets are generated by a tool, and sometimes it gets it wrong. Thanks for reporting!

You can add any query parameters to requests sent by the SDK though, so you can still make this work like so:

var options = new List<QueryOption> { new QueryOption("$search", "j") };
var people = await graphClient.Me.People.Request(options).GetAsync();
