$filter startswith function does not work with List Items in Sharepoint

[codecrasher99]

In graph explorer ODATA queries with filter of startswith on list items does not work. All of the ODATA filter functions I tried return itemNotFound error. See an example below https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/root/lists('Documents')/Items?$filter=startswith(webURL, 'https') eq true

Expected behavior

This should have returned items which are have a weburl with the word sharepoint in it

Actual behavior

Graph returns itemNotFound error

Steps to reproduce the behavior
