Azure – Graph api /sites?search : some sites are not returned

I have trouble with the graph api /sites?search= call.

In fact, my request returns only 11 sites out of 16. I don’t see the difference between these sites that could explain this.
I connect with the credentials of an application (client secret) on the api and I have the Sites.ReadWriteAll (Application) permission.

Maybe the application doesn’t have access to certain sites and needs to be explicitly granted somewhere on Azure? Any help is welcome.

    I registered one Azure AD application and granted Sites.ReadWrite.All permission of Application type:

    Now, I generated access token using client credentials flow via Postman with below parameters:

    POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/tenantID/oauth2/v2.0/token
grant_type:client_credentials
client_id: appID
client_secret: secret 
scope: https://graph.microsoft.com/.default

    Response:

    enter image description here

    When I used the above token to call graph API with search query, I got only 16 sites out of 21:

    GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites?search=*

    Response:

    As @user2250152 suggested, you can make use of GetAllSites endpoint to list all sites across geographies in an organization.

    GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/getAllSites?$count=true

    Response:

    enter image description here

    I got the same results when I used below graph call as all sites are in same geographic location:

    GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites?$count=true

    Response:

    enter image description here

    When I checked the difference between these sites, I observed /sites?search= call won’t return sites that are created for user’s personal OneDrive accounts that looks like:

    https://xxxxxxxxxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user_xxxxxxxxx_onmicrosoft_com

    This /sites?search= call also won’t return below search site:

    https://xxxxxxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/search

    But GetAllSites and ListAllSites endpoint returns all these sites in response.

    Try to add Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All & Sites. Selected Permissions. If you don’t have the permission to the site, you will be unable to search the site
