Content Search Web Part and Managed Property

Do I have to have cross-site collection publishing feature turned on for the Content Search Web Part to show a managed property?
I have a list and a column in that list called Colors. I created a managed property out of the crawled property for Colors column. On a page within the same site-collection, I added a content search web part (displays items from the earlier list) and
trying to display the managed property for Colors to show up for each of the items. For some reason, Colors value is not being displayed for the items.
Any ideas?

Thanks, Peter, appreciated. Here is my problem:
I created a site column and added it to the list. Added an item that has a value for this site column. System automatically generated a crawled property for the site column and also a managed property. Do I still have to perform step # 5 from above?
Now when I go into the content search web part and change the query to use this managed property as a refiner, it does not work.
I will try the debugging as you suggested.
In the meanwhile, Please let me know if you know of anything wrong I am doing.
UPDATE: I debugged it using IE Dev. Toolbar and the value for that managed property is being returned as null. What could be going wrong? How can I further troubleshoot this problem?

Office 365 - content search web part

Hi,
I have an office 365 site, and in one of the page, i had added 4 Content search web parts each of it having its own custom display templates.
Now, the problem is when the page is browsed (intermittent) or edited (always), the CSWP's throwing error as 'Sorry, something went wrong'. And I found that, the corresponding .js files are not getting loaded, including the language script, because of which
we are getting this error.
Please assist.
Thanks
Senthu

Hi Senthu,
This error occurs may be due to the display template has not been published as a major version.
Please go to the Master pages and page layouts in site settings > Display Templates > Content Web Parts > find the html file of the display templates used in your content search web part and then click the triangle and select Publish a Major Version.

Content Search web part query

HI,
I am struggling to apply filters for one of my query scenario
1. I have multiple Site Collections http://RootWeb/Sites/Jobs,
http://RootWeb/Sites/Job1 Etc
Each site collection has a list with data. One of the column in those lists is Division (Values may be Division 1, Division 2 Etc)
2. I have another Site Collection http://RootWeb/Sites/Division1
I am adding a content search web part to display information related to all Job's from Job's list based on Division Site I aam browsing.
My Issue is I have another application with similar structure.
How to filter my data so it returnes results data only from my current web app site collection and not another web app site collection?
kesari suresh

Hi kesari,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display data only from one site collection in Content Search web part.
For your issue, you can create a Result Source for the site collection using the query "Path:<URL of the site collection>". The result source only query the date from the site collection. Then you can use the Result Source in the
Content Search web part, and apply some queries.
About creating a Result Source, please refer to the link:

Content Search Web Part over HTTPS for a Host Named Site Collection

Hello
I have a host named site collection http://media.contoso.com which is a media portal that stores videos and pictures. On my parent site collection http://site.contoso.com homepage I have a Content Search Web Part that displays videos from the media portal.
Both sites work over https.
When I edit the content search web part and enter the URL http://media.contoso.com in the 'Change Query' box, search returns the results as expected but when I enter the URL as
https://media.contoso.com no results are returned.
I have removed the binding in IIS to point to http://media.contoso.com.
I need it to be https so that I don't see "HTTPS security is compromised by http://media.contoso.com" on my site collection homepage.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks
Yoshi

In the Search SSL Settings dialog box, do one of the following:
If you do not want the crawler to crawl a site when there is an SSL certificate warning, make sure that the
Ignore SSL certificate name warnings check box is cleared. For security reasons, the check box is cleared by default.
If you want the crawler to crawl a site even if there is an SSL certificate warning, make sure that the
Ignore SSL certificate name warnings check box is selected.

Content Search Web Part - display template Error

Hi,
I have an office 365 site, where in I have more than one Content Search Web Part and I have written custom display templates to be used in CSWP.
Now, the issue is, whenever the page is browsed (intermittent in this case) and the page is edited to edit the CSWP (always in this case), the javascript files corresponding to the display templates are not loaded and because of which its throwing 'Sorry,
something went wrong' error.
Thanks
Senthil

Hi Senthu,
Any updates on this issue?
Since there are articles describe how to customize template for content search web part, I'd recommend you refer to them and check/debug your script:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepoint_quick_reads/archive/2013/08/01/sharepoint-2013-customize-display-template-for-content-by-search-web-part-cswp-part-1.aspx

If you suspect there is performance issue, you could test it on other browsers or machines.
If the issue persists on reference in the script, please refer to the articles and try to find one which can meet your requirement.

Content Search web part - Display Project Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables

My ultimate goal is to display a rollup table of our active projects (from PWA) on another site collection using the content search web part. I can return default properties (such as the project name, author and URL) fairly easily using the same basic steps
in the link below.
http://en.share-gate.com/blog/roll-up-sharepoint-2013-sites-using-search
My problem is that I want to also display information associated with each project from our PWA enterprise custom fields (such as risk, phase, etc.)
Because these custom fields do not appear to be site columns, I'm at a bit of a loss as to how this data is searched / indexed / mapped.
Is it possible to display PWA enterprise custom fields in a content search web part?

Hi Jennifer,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display PWA enterprise custom fields in a Content Search web part in SharePoint 2013.
As your active projects were from different site collection with the Content Search web part, you need to do a crawl for the content source, then create a managed property for the column in CA->Search Service Application->Search Schema. When you create
the managed property, select Searchable, Queryable, Retrievable. Then map it to the crawled property based on the custom column. You can find the crawled property by searching the name of the column in crawled properties.
More information, please refer to the link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219667(v=office.15).aspx
I hope this helps.

Content search web part to display only lists and libraries

Hi,
I want to configure Content Search Web Part to display only the names of lists and libraries inside my site collection. I tried adding Keyword filter "Only return lists and libraries", however it is also returning list items. Any idea on this issue?

Hi John,
Thanks.
Agree with your point. I can't use any code (that is client requirement). Also, still I use, I can't use it in this scenario. I want to display most visited lists and libraries (in last month or lifetime). I can use managed properties such as ViewsLifeTime
and ViewsRecent to sort it If i get the names of lists and libraries. Let me know if this clarifies the question more and you have an idea about it.

Content By Search Web Part and the Hover Panel

Hi
I have an Office 365 E3 account.
I have a Content By Search Webpart which I have added to a home page.
I have a display template that displays the results and should show the Search hover panel just like in SharePoint Search Results.
However, it does not unless the CSWP is near the bottom of the screen.
I have used the IE11 debugger and I can see the hover panel code being called when the mouse enters the CSWP area, but it only works (and doers not stay visible very long) if the CSWP web part is at the bottom of the screen.
This only works when the CSWP is at the bottom of the screen. It does not work when the CSWP is further up the screen.
Am I doing something wrong.
(This works perfectly using on-premise SharePoint 2013 with SP1.)
Regards
Nigel
Nigel Price NJPEnterprises

Hi Nigel,
According to your description, my understanding is that the hover panel of your custom display template only works when the Content Search Web Part is at the page bottom.
For customizing hover panel on the Content Search Web Part using a Custom Display Template, you can refer to the blog:
http://www.cdhtalkstech.com/2013/11/19/5598/
I tested it in my SharePoint Online environment and the hover panel worked.
For more information, you can have a look at these articles:

Search by tag not working in content search web part

Hi,
I am trying to configure content search web part that only pull result with a specific tags. I have created a document library and assign tags on some document, also configured Managed Meta data service and search service application. Schedule search continuous
crawl.
If i am not specify any tag content search web part shows results but when I restrict result with specific tag like (#HomePage) it doesn't pull any result, i have also run crawl after tagging documents in document library.
Kindly help me out.

Lets suppose you have your "managed metadata property" added to your list/library with name "MetadataColumn". Crawled property is created with name ows_MetadataColumn (I guess). Then You need to create a new managed property in
search settings and map it to your crawled property (ows_...).
Nothing else, use your Managed property in content search webpart and filter your results.

Content Search Web Part - Sorting not working

I recently tried the new Content Search Web Part for which i see tremendous potential. I wanted to use it to show a certain type of pages and that was not a problem (i added a url as the source where i got the pages from). I mapped the correct fields so
that it showed image, title and modified date. I then tried the advanced mode and told it to sort by the modified date, however any way I tried to apply this sort it just would not save my settings and reverted back to the default sorting. Is there anything
else you need to do to get Sorting to work?
/Anders

I hadn't tried looking with REST, but that's a good suggestion.
In the interim, I found this on TechNet:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj679902.aspx#BKMK_MapCPtoRefinableMP<o:p></o:p>
When you search for a crawled property, you may find two crawled properties
that represent the same content. For example, a site column of type Text named
Color will during crawl discover two crawled properties: ows_Color and
ows_q_TEXT_Color. Crawled properties that begin with either ows_r<four
letter code>, ows_q<four letter code>, or ows_taxId are automatically
created crawled properties. When you select a crawled property to map to a
refinable managed property, make sure that you don't map the automatically
created crawled property. Instead, always map the crawled property that begins
with ows_.
So clearly (as clearly as the doc makes it) I need to use ows_ArticleStartDate. I've made sure that crawled property is the one I'm using, but I'm still not seeing any effect.
As for the sorting model, that only seems to be relevant for Rank sorting, right?

Basically,ctx.CurrentItem.ServerRedirectedURL is calculated by a managed property ServerRedirectedURL which needs to be included in the display template.

{Today} variable in content search web part

Hello,
I am having issues with the {today} variable in the SharePoint 2013 Content Search Web Part. I’m trying to get all list items that have a Start date greater or equal to Today.
I created a Search Managed Property called “NewsPublishingStartDate” (Date and Time type) and set the Content Search Web Part’s query to NewsPublishingStartDate>={Today}.
The problem is that list items are being displayed in the web part 4 hours before the Start date. As an example: items that have a Start date of April 18 will start appearing in the Content Search web part April 17 at 8PM.
Time zone for my web app was not set at first: I’ve set it to Eastern Time (US & Canada) and did a full crawl but I got the same wrong results.
What I am missing?
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi,
As SharePoint stores all the DatetTme values in UTC time in the database, so the date value displays as UTC time zone in the search core results web part.
If you need to change the time in the search results web part, you can export the web part and then edit the code for converting the time to the time zone you want.
Here are some links for you to refer:

Does the Target Audiences setting work for Content Search Web Part Snippets?

I am attempting to create a page layout in SharePoint 2013 that contains a Content Search Web Part snippet.
I only want the CS Web Part to appear for certain users in a defined SP Group.
I set the Target Audience property during the generation of the snippet.
Unfortunately, the target audience property does not affect the appearance of the web part.
It appears all the time, even when the current user is not a member of the named SP group.
Here is my snippet, the group I am targeting in called "US Region":

Item title won't show in Content Search Web Part

Hi,
I am trying to show news items from one site on another site. I can show all attributes so far, except for the title.
The field name of the title in the news item is 'title'.
In crawled properties, I have linked the title to Title, RefinableString00 and RefinableString12.
But the title either displays DispForm.aspx as a title (when I select title), or nothing (when I select the mapped property RefinableString00 or RefinableString12).
What can/should I do to show the title field?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Item title did not show in Content Search Web Part.
You need to open the webpart either in SP designer or visual studio or as matter of fact in Notepad and search for the special property. And then add your list columns which you wants to display.
