drive.files.list query on properties not working

[djholly123]

trying to do a search for files with specific custom property which I have successfully set and and can see the properties array if I cheat an get the file directly (knowing its id)

the q below is not working get 400 error "Invalid query"

var args = {
    corpus: "DEFAULT",
    maxResults: 10,
    q:  "properties has { key='ufn' }"
};
drive.files.list(args, function(err, rd){
    if(err){
        return cb(err, null);
    }
    return cb(null, rd);
});

also if I follow the documentation at : https://developers.google.com/drive/web/search-parameters#properties

and try and use a q like:
"properties has { key='ufn' and value='8e8aceg2af2ge72e78' and visibility='PRIVATE' }" gives same error.

Is documentation correct because it does not work in web interface either.

any help appreciated

I had the same issuse and solved it.
Post it here even after a year, in case anybody need it.
You need to specify key and value at the same time , NO VISIBILITY. You can search by appProperties as well.

properties has { key='customKeyA' and value='customKeyAValue2'}

Hi,
It's working for me.
This gives a result when we give the exact key and value. how to do contains check.
Example:
A file has properties key is "FileKey" and value is "FileValue"
I give the search value like "File". How to get the file
