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:

Display Search Results of Content Search WebPart in a Calendar Style

Hi,
I have currently the requirement to gather events from calendars (event list) that are spread among dozens of site collections. Calendar rollup or overlay only works within a sitecollection (right?).
I thought that I might be able to use the Content Search WebPart for this task. Is it possible to create displaytemplates that transform the search results into a calendar like view?
Thanks
Sven

Hi Sven,
As I tested, I can overlay SharePoint calendars across site collections in the same web application. However, by design it doesn't work across web applications.
I'd like to confirm if you are overlaying calendars across site collections or web applications. If your situation is the former, did you recieve any error message?

Content Search Webpart is not displaying certain fields from my results

I am rolling up some list data from a subsite to its parent site. The list includes the Title and Health fields. The Health field is an image column. When typing in "Health" into the second line to display for the webpart, it doesnt show anything
when I save and refresh. The Title field works, however. Another field "Created" also works but I don't need to display that column in the webpart.
Any ideas how I can fix this?

Hi,
Please change the mapping of managed properties for the fields in
the Item Display Template.

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:

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 Chhatrapati

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;

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.

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.

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

Hi,
I am having two columns 'Column1 & Column2' in a list names Demo. I need to display the items of both the columns into a page with the help of Content Search Webpart. I am using SharePoint 2013 Platform.
Expecting some useful comments on the same...!!
Warm Regards,
Tony Joy.

Hi,
If you just want to display two columns of a list, Content Query Web Part will be more appropriate:

Here are the possibilities of Content search webparts

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

Display content from other site collections
No
Yes (see
section below)
Design of query results can be customized
Yes, by using XSLT.
Yes, by using HTML.
Maintenance cost in a complex site architecture

Refinement Web Part.

Hi,
In the “Property Mappings” of the Content Search Web Part, we can see that the Picture field will only display the value retrieved from “PublishingImage;PictureURL;PictureThumbnailURL”,
because there is corresponding column in OOTB Document Library holds the valid value of a thumbnail image for a document, that’s why documents from Document Library display no thumbnail image in a Content Search Web part.
If you want to display thumbnail images for documents of Document Library, you can add a custom Picture column to hold the thumbnail image of a document, set the “Property
Mappings” to display this custom Picture column.
By doing this, every time uploading a document to this library, setting a thumbnail image(provided by common users, not generated by SharePoint automatically) for
that custom Picture column, in the Content Search Web Part, the thumbnail image will display.

Content Search Webpart Property Filter

Hi,
I have two pages. In first page i added custom webpart with one textbox and search button. In second page i have content search webpart that should filter the result based on the property value we enter in the text box.

results.
Can anybody help???

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.

Hi 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,

To search only images in a particular folder of picture library using content search webpart.

I have Images library where i am storing images in different folders.I need my content search webpart to search and display images in a particular folder in Images Library.For ex: i need to if my Picture Library Name is 'Images' a folder inside that is
'Travel' which is having some images.I need my content search webpart to pick images from 'Travel' folder only.Any pointers to this will be helpful.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to search images in a particular folder via content search web part.
When we use the search crawl the items in the images library, it crawls the items and folder with the following URL.
For folder: http://sp13/PublishingImages/Folder1.
For Items:
http://sp13/PublishingImages/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=itemID
It not crawls the items as the path
http://sp13/PublishingImages/Folder1/Item, then we could not use this path to retrieve the items in the folder.
As a workaround, we can create a custom field in the image library, such as a choice type field named
Folders(it contains the folder names), when we create a image, we set the folder name in this field.
Note: we should new a managed property manually to match the Crawled property.
Then we can use this field to filter the items in a particular folder as below, it works like a charm in my environment.
path:"http://sp13/PublishingImages" Folders=Folder1

How to show catalog items with Approval Status:Pending in a Content Search Webpart

How to show catalog items with Approval Status:Pending in a Content Search Webpart using cross site publishing. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you're going to be able to. Usually Approval Status is used in conjunction with Major/Minor versioning and while Approval Status is pending the item is usually a draft.
As a result the search crawler should not be able to see the draft items as it would not have the necessary rights to do so. (Good practice ensures that the Search Crawler has only read access and is not an elevated account for this reason)
