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:

Using Content search web part to retrieve items from another site collection

I have a web application that contains two site collections(team site + enterprise wiki), with the following URLs:-
-http://applicationname/teamsite
-http://applicationname/enterprisewiki
Now I need to display the latest 10 wiki pages from the enterprise wiki site collection(according to the modified date) inside the team site. So I read that using Content search web part allow for cross-site content query. Currently I added a new content
search web part , inside my team site, and I click on “change query” button. But I am not sure how I can reference the enterprise wiki site collection's wiki page library and to specify that I need to get the latest 10 wiki pages , inside the following dialog:-
Basically this setting partially worked for me, I provide the following settings inside the “Build Your Query” dialog:-
From the “Select a Query” I defined the following:- “items matching content type(system).”
Restrict by app : “Do not restrict results by app”
Restrict by content type “Enterprise Wiki Page”.
This showed all the sites, lists and even pages are based on the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type. But I am facing these three problems:-
1. The above setting showed only the sites,lists and pages matching the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type, that exists on another web application, and not that exists inside the current web application.
2. To test the web part , I got the following results, But I was not able to add additional info for the items such as created by, modified by ,etc.
3. Also there is no way to sort the wiki pages by the modified date, as in the Sorting tab inside the “Build Your query” dialog I cannot find the “modified” inside the Soft by list
So can anyone advice how to fix these three problems

Hi,
1. In "Build Your Query" dialog, we can select "Specify a URL" in
Restrict by app and enter another site URL.
2. If you want to add more information for the items, we need customize the display template, the following link for your reference:

3. In the Sorting tab, we can use "LastModifiedTime" to instead of "Modified".

Content Search web part

Hi
Is it possible to filter the CSWP by "Value available in documents".
We are trying to get all excel document which contains text "C:\Documents and Settings".
Thanks in advance,
Hazeq.

Hi,
You can add the following query text in the Content Search web part which will show all Excel files with
phrase "Documents and Settings".
(FileExtension:xls OR FileExtension:xlsx) (IsDocument:"True" OR contentclass:"STS_ListItem") "Documents and Settings"
The reason why we cannot use "C:\Documents and Settings" is because by default most punctuation marks will be ignored when the content get indexed by
Word Breaker. Therefore, there is not a phrase named "C:\Documents and Settings" existed in index file. A workaround is to use "Documents and Settings" phrase.

Content Search Web Part Has No Results

Hello,
I have been working on a site for a few weeks now and have been trying to make a simple Image Slider. I have found many tutorials and all are helpful -- except I get stuck at the same part every time. I am trying to use a Content Search Web Part in order
to pull images from a library/list and display them. I go through almost the same instructions every time but my query never shows any results.
I have went in to 'Change Query' and set the following:
Select a query: Pictures (System)
Restrict By App: Specify a URL --> Then changed to mysite/myimagelibrary
I have tried a few things. I have changed the Result Source to multiple different things, including the default 'Recently Changed Items.' I have also tried to put the images in a list rather than a Picture Library. I have also tried MANY different ways of
putting in the 'specific URL.'
I don't know why I can't seem to get results from my query. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,According to your post, my understanding is that you used a Content Search Web part to search images from a library/list , it didn’t display any
Results.
Please check which content type you used for these images . Maybe its content type is document rather than picture. Please make sure your images’ content type is picture.
You can go in to 'Change Query' and set the following:
Select a query: Items matching a content type(System)
Restrict by App: Current site
Restrict by content type: Picture
As you have mentioned in your description “Specify a URL --> Then changed to mysite/myimagelibrary”.

Content Search web Part on Variations label ?

Hello Experts,
I have set up Variations in SharePoint 2013 and its working fine. As of now I have only one Label and in Variations Settings I have selected to "Update web part changes to target web pages when Variations source page is updated".
On Source Label , I added a Content Search Web Part (CSW) to pull the items from a list that is on the top level ( root of the site collection so that query will remain same on all labels), working fine , Now i go to my target site and sync with source and
it is synced successfully. I can see the CSW was also update on the target page but it says "sorry something went wrong". when I edit CSW on the target site , search query from source is also present and it works fine in edit mode when I click on
Test query button , but when I save it or publish target site web part shows same error again" sorry something went wrong" .
Is there some settings missing?
Can someone please confirm if CSW works with variations on labels ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Resolution : Issue was resolved after creating folder in "Language files" library as mentioned in the link below.
http://richardstk.com/2014/11/18/sharepoint-2013-content-search-web-part-one-or-more-of-the-following-resource-files-failed-to-load/

Thanks.

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 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?

Content Search web part Customization with Tabs

Hi,
I'm customizing a Content Search web part. I need to create dynamic tabs on it based on the values of a retrieved specific column. Do you have idea on how to retrieve all the values all at once, so that I can format the tabs itself? Because right now, I
can only get one list item at a time by using ctx.CurrentItem. Thanks. :)
Regards,
Napster

You can make a REST call with groupby query on the specific column to get distinct values.

{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:

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.

Latency in upload of content search web part

Hi,
We have a customer who use sharepoint which is adjasted to mobile, and it seems that when user access in vpn or mobile - it takes too much time till web parts are loaded. These are Content Search web parts that display pictures.
Is there any setting to do so the web part will load even if shows nothing and then execute the query and show the items( pictures)?

How to retrive latest items from different site collection using content search web part

Edit the webpart and click change query in search criteria. click on switch to advanced mode and enter your path:
(path:"http://applicationname/teamsite" OR path:"http://applicationname/enterprisewik")
you can specify sorting by created date and click ok. in number of items to show, type 10. this should fulfill your requirement.
