Sharepoint URl Get HTTP request seach and filter

Hi,

I am trying to search and filter for certain files in SharePoint from PowerApps. I have currently got a search setup and it retrieves the main folder and all the subfolder files. I want to only retrieve files from certain subfolders within the Mainfolder and was wondering is there a way to do this. 
I have tried adding certain filters ie filtering the path to see if it contains folder names and also substringof but none of them seem to work. I am adding these filters to the end of the URI below "$filter=Path eq *Subfolder4* or Path eq *Subfolder 2* or Path eq *OtherSubfolder*" is there a way to do this as i dont want to retrieve any folders just the files in those folders

    Hi @Kratos1 

     

    Try as below

     

    $filter=startswith(FileDirRef,'/MainFolder/Subfolder4') or startswith(FileDirRef,'/MainFolder/Subfolder2') or startswith(FileDirRef,'/MainFolder/OtherSubfolder')

    Hi @Srini007 ,

    The Uri search helps locate the "MainFolder" and brings this up as one of the search results based on the searched text so I cant use "MainFolder" in the filter for the structure if we don't know what the main folder is.
