Answer 1

In your situation, how about adding the properties of corpora and includeItemsFromAllDrives as follows?

Modified script:

From:

Drive.files.list({
    q: "name contains 'jeet' ",
 // q: "fullText contains 'jeet' ", -- this is also get 2-3 result
    supportsAllDrives: true
}, function(err, res) {

From:

Drive.files.list({
    q: "name contains 'jeet' ",
 // q: "fullText contains 'jeet' ", -- this is also get 2-3 result
    supportsAllDrives: true,
    corpora: "allDrives", // Added
    includeItemsFromAllDrives: true, // Added
}, function(err, res) {
