Can I use $filter and $search only on directory object collections? (Microsoft Graph)

Hello together,

The following part of the microsoft documentation says that we can use $filter and $search together. https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/graph/search-query-parameter?tabs=http#using-search-on-directory-object-collections

But when I run the following query:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-id}/messages?$filter=startswith(subject, 'a')&$search="cc:alice"

I get the message that this is not supported.

{   

"error": {       

"code": "SearchWithFilter",       

"message": "The query parameter '$filter' is not supported with '$search'."   

}

}

Can I use $filter and $search only on directory object collections? 

Greetings Martin
