Sharepoint 2013 Search - Query Transformation - Result Source - Result Page

Question

Hey there,

Problem: I want a Sharepoint Result Page only to show Results from a specific Content Source with a specific Url.

Idea: Query Transformation for Result Web Part. This looks like eg.

{searchTerms} ContentSource="Local Sharepoint Sites" AND Path:Customer

But when I write it like this, no results are shown. I set the Path Property as Searchable and Queryable in the Search Schema Managed Propertys at the Search Administration. First Part works fine, but the second one deliveres no results.

Question: How do I have to write the Query Transformation?

I also tried to set up a Content Source with only the specific sites, but I get no results for this Sharepoint Sites Content Source.

Answer 1

Hi,

The Path property takes a query on this form:

Path:"http://server/site/library/"

Adding as much as you need for the path part up until library/folder. I have used this recently myself in a migrated solution with content types and it works just fine.

Thanks,
Mikael Svenson

Answer 2

Thanks for your help, i did not try it with the path variable. Instead I used a a seperate content source. This works for but not with ContentSource="MyContentSource" but with ContentSource:Content.

Don't no why the equals doesnt work but with the contains : it works.

But I ran into a Problem with the Server Name Mappings, that the Edit or View Library Link shows the Crawled Source, but I think this Bug is already discussed.

Answer 3

Hi,

Glad you sorted it out. The correct delimiter is : not =, so you should always use this for property queries.

Thanks,
