Building Query for SharePoint content Search Webpart
Hi,
There is a content search webpart being used for displaying the Related Items from a Page library. Whenever a new item/Page is added into the Page library, there is a column that accepts multiple values.
Now my requirement is, when a new page is added (which would be a part of custom page layout which has Search webpart) with a Column named say for Ex: 'Status' values as New, Old, Newer and when this page is opened, I want the search web part to display
all other items/pages whose 'Status' column values would have one among these.
As I do not have any idea on building the query with this webpart, any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Dipti,
How about replacing you line as below (with content class)
var newQuery = 'ContentTypeId:0x0102*'+ ' ' +'EndDate'+ '>=' + date;
with
var newQuery = 'contentclass:STS_ListItem_Events'+ ' ' +'EndDate'+ '>=' + date;

Content Search WebPart Template Group by
Hi,
Iam trying with no luck to créate a display template for the content search webpart with grouping by the publishing date.
I want to show news grouped by the month of the publication, but iam not being able to group the ítems by any managed propertie.
Can this be done?, if you have an example i will really appreciate it.
Thanks!!!The only form of grouping supported by the CSWP is collapsing but I guess it's not what you're after. I'm afraid you would have to implement it yourself in the Display Template.

Content Search Webpart Query (urltoken to list metadata column)
Im developing a internet site using Cross site publishing.
In the publishing site collection, on a category page, Im trying to query the relevant contents
on a catalog list using urltoken to metadata column on a list using Content search webpart.
I have created list of departments in the metadata and same is used as part of managed navigation.
Metadata term : New department
friendly url : New-department
When I query the Catalog's metadata column (department column) using the urltoken.1 (new-department) it is not fetching the results

Hi All,
We are migrating from on-premise SharPoint 2010 to SharePoint online 2013.
I have few questions below:
What are the possibilities and limitations of using Out of the box content search webpart?
Also, how the cross site publishing will work in SharePoint online something with managed navigations and product catalog apporach? if it is not supported, then what are the alternatives to acheive the same?
Appriciate any commnets/clarifications.Thanks in advance.
Thanks,

Compare the strengths and limitations of the Web Parts
It’s important that you understand the strengths and limitations of the two Web Parts because if you choose the wrong one, your site could run into performance problems. You can use both Web Parts to show content that is based on a query. In a simplified
world, here’s how you can decide between the two:
Use the CQWP when you have a limited amount of content, your query is simple, and you don’t expect your content to grow much in the future.
Use the CSWP in all other scenarios when you want to show content that is based on a query.
The table below gives a comparison of the two Web Parts:
Web Part behavior
Content Query Web Part
Content Search Web Part
Query configuration
Easy
You’ll need to know about certain search features such as
managed properties.
Query across large amounts of content
Limited
Yes
Handle complex queries
Limited
Yes
Scale to handle future content growth
Limited
Yes
Display content from other site collections
No
Yes (see

Design of query results can be customized
Yes, by using XSLT.
Yes, by using HTML.
Maintenance cost in a complex site architecture

Narrow down the query results that are displayed in the Web Part
No

Refinement Web Part.
It was not there previously but then it was added to Office 365

Custom Display template for Content Search webpart
Hi,
I am trying to customize the out of the box "slideshow" display template for content search webpart which renders Images.
By default, the slideshow display template has a fixed the image size which is very small. Is it possible to increase the dimensions of the container or control template to show a much larger image size?
Can anyone please help on how to do this?
Thanks,Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to increase the dimensions of the container or control template to show a much larger image size in the Content Search web part.
I recommend to create a custom Display Template (control and Item display templates) and use JQuery Slider plugin to achieve this goal.
More detailed information are provided in the link below:

Hi ,
I am to trying to add a property filter to a content search webpart.I have to query the property with the page title of the current page.So assuming my page url ends with "/Pages/b1.aspx".I want to query by b1. I see that there is "value of
a token from url" option available in the drop down but I cannot make out how I can parse out the page title("b1" in the example).
Thanks in advance,Hi ,
When you select Value of a token from URL, the query text will add {URLToken.1} by default. {URLToken.1} represents a value from the URL of the current page. The integer, in this case
1, represents the value in the URL as counted from right to left. So, for example, the current page URL where the content search web part is added in : http://www.contoso.com/SitePages/Home.aspx, the query variable {URLToken.1} represents the value Home.aspx.
For query variable {URLToken.2}, it represents the value SitePages .
This means only if the current page where the content search web part is added in is bi.aspx, you can add {URLToken.1} and filter all results whose URL contains bi.aspx in the last.
For achieving your demand, you can create a new content source with the URLs you want .

How to extend OOTB Content Search WebPart in SharePoint Online/0365 programmatically ?
Hi All,
We have some requirements wherein we need to extend some of the properties of Content Search WebPart in SharePoint Online/0365 using javascript (I am using 0365 NAPA tools). We are looking to create an App Part which functions same as content search webpart.
To be specific I want to override "QueryText" property of CSWP (using javascript in NAPA tool).
Any help would be greatly apprieciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dhananjay.If you're talking about affecting the CSWP within a host web from within an AppPart, then no it won't be possible as the AppPart runs within an iFrame.
Perhaps a better approach might be to run your searches within the AppPart using the REST interface for search. Chris O'Brien has a pretty good example of this on his blog..
http://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2013/01/calling-sharepoint-search-using-rest-eg.html and I think Scott Hillier did a session at SPC which you should be able to find on Channel 9. (Just search for REST SEARCH API)

Content search webpart query is not rendering result as per the expectation !!
Hello,
I have 5 Content search web part on same page with different display templates.
1) Search Aggregated Result - This display search results for announcements,discussion and wiki as per the current user.
2) My websites - Thsi displays site links as per the current user.
3) My Tasks - This display task items as per the current user
4) Daily calendar - This display the results as per the date selection in calendar control.
For Daily calendar - I have specified calendar control in custom display template to filter search results based on date selection which is working as below:
I have got the reference from following link that changing the query dynamically to filter search result data -
http://sharepointificate.blogspot.in/2014/08/content-search-webpart-dynamic-filtering.html
ctx.OnPostRender = [];
ctx.OnPostRender.push(ctx,function(){
$('<div id="trCalendar" class=""></div>').insertBefore('#idCalender')
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#trCalendar").datepicker( {
onSelect: function(date) {
var groups = Srch.ScriptApplicationManager.get_current().queryGroups;
$.each(groups, function () {
// Look for query groups associated with a CSWP
if (this.displays != null && this.displays.length > 0) {
if (this.displays[0] instanceof Srch.Result) {
// Update and execute query
var newQuery = 'ContentTypeId:0x0102*'+ ' ' +'EndDate'+ '>=' + date;
this.dataProvider.set_queryTemplate(newQuery);
this.dataProvider.issueQuery();
selectWeek: true,
However, this date query is being applied for every search result web part mentioned in page.
How can I make it work only for the Daily Calendar web part ?
Your answer will be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Dipti ChhatrapatiDipti,

Choose display template based on result type - Content search webpart
Hi
Is it possible to choose display template based on result type in content search webpart same like search results web part? If not available can it be achieved programmatically?
The content search web part is queried against document content type. Based on the document type, the document has to be seen in the hover template.
Please advise.Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to choose display template based on result type as search result Webpart in Content Search Webpart.
You could customize your display template for Content Search Web Part, please refer to this article:

Limit Content Search Webpart to a specific list
Im am getting my feet wet with the Content search webpart, but I am stumbling over something that I believe should actually be easy, but I can't do it nevertheless.
I want to display only items with a certain column entry from a docstore within another sitecollection. I thought of doing this with the Content search web part.
1. In the advanced tab, I can limit the source of the query to a specific site, but not a specific docstore/List either through URL or ID. I simply get 0 results whereas leaving the ListID/ListUrl Parameter out, I get nicely all the relevant docs in the
site
path:"https://domain/sites/am/pm" AND ListID={5329496C-7D13-4417-ABD3-97E6629A32B2} (FileExtension:xls OR FileExtension:xlsx) (IsDocument:"True" OR contentclass:"STS_ListItem")
or another version
path:"https://domain/sites/am/pm" AND ListUrl=https://domain/sites/am/pm/Test_Musterportfolio/ (FileExtension:xls OR FileExtension:xlsx) (IsDocument:"True" OR contentclass:"STS_ListItem")
2. Certain Column entry: I will attempt to do this through creating a list column as a managed property and then take if from there. Found a
nice article in this Forum regarding that that Looks promising.
Any help is appreciated.
RaoulHi Raoul,
According to your description, my understanding is that there was 0 result when you search a library with Content Search web part in SharePoint 2013.
Whether you did a crawl when you used content search web part.
Please go to Central Administration, and do a full crawl for the content source. After crawling the content source , test the query in Content Search Web part, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Hide / Remove Content Search Webpart when no results returned
Hi SharePoint friends
I'm looking to find a way to hide the whole Content Search webpart (including the webpart title and border area) if there are no results coming back from the query.
What I tried
1. There is this property: "ShouldHideControlWhenEmpty" but it doesn't do anything when there are no results. The webpart is still visible. Webpart has a the Title and the Border around it so when
there are no results the title and the border show up with no results. Like I said I want to hide the whole thing in that case.
2. Wrote a jQuery script that searches for the text "There are no results" message (which comes from the webpart when there are no results) and hides the webpart. However, there is a short flicker once the page loads because the webpart first gets
rendered for a split second and then disappears by virtue of my jQuery script - which is not great UI experience.
3. So I thought I could extend the OOTB ContentBySearchWebPart and get a hold of some kind property that would get me the result count. If the results count is 0 simply I would hide the webpart server side. I looked
at the documentation online - nothing I could find that I could leverage.
Help? Thanks!Hi,
To hide the whole Content Search Web Part when there is no result returned, a workaround can be like this:
In the “Web Part Properties” panel, set checked the “Don't show anything when there are no results”, set the Chrome Type as “None”:
By doing this, the whole web part will disappear when there is no result returned.

How to display Column of a particular list to page using Content Search Webpart?

Content search webpart sorting not working
Using the Content Search webpart I have created a query that rollsup all the subsites of a particular path, which is working well. However, I have tried sorting using he sort by term SPSiteURL, unfortunatly that is not working. Does anyone have any idea
what I am doing wrong.
davidhHi Cameron,
Thanks for the reply. I find that hard to accept becuase I can get the same webpart to sort like I want it to at our SharePoint Online sites, granted the sorting feature is in a diferent location within the edit webpart dialog but still basically the same
feature. Also, I would think that the SPSiteURL sort term does and should include the entire URL, which is unique to each site, which means that it should sort on the entire URL.
I think that it is reasonable to expect to be able to achieve this in some manner, maybe not the way I am trying to do it, but I have to think I am not the first person to want to present the results of subsites sorted alpha-numerically.
Thanks,
