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.

Use a Content Search Web Part to Display a Picture

Hello -
Is there a way to use the Content Search Web Part to display the most recently added picture to a specified application?
Please let me know if you need additional information to answer this question.
Thanks,
Jordan

Hello Jordan,
I believe you could do this :
filetype:jpg OR filetype:png OR (and so on for all
images types)
AND path:"http://yoursite/youlibrary"

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 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

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.

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)?
If blob cache is executed - it solve the latency but then there is another problem: it shows a part of a picture

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

I have a web application that contains two site collections(team site + enterprise wiki), with the following URLs:-

content search web part's query dialog box? Can anyone advice please ?
Thanks

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.

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 - 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 displaying wrong Results for anonymous Users.

I am getting Wrong results for my content search web part. The requirement is to show the News Description for the selected news item.
I have a catalog site which stores News like
News1
News2
News3
as Items. and i have connected this catalog in publishing site which is anonymous. In the publishing site created one page "News.aspx"added search results webpart which shows all the news item. Added one page "Description.aspx" to show
description to show the selected news item.
When ever user selects any news from news.aspx page it will redirected to description.aspx with the selected item ID
The "Description.aspx" the search results page gets the data based on the URL by QueryString parameter as shown below

Using term set as refiner in content search web part does not show all used terms

When you create a terms set (12 terms with +/- 10-20 child terms) , attach it to a site column and allow multiple values to be selected the search service does not find all used values in the REFINERS tab of the content search web part.
Example:
Field ‘Tags’ is the term set which can be refined. We want to do this in the REFINERS tab of the content search web part.
Tags is containing following fields:
•Course document
•Poster
•ALS
•Before
•During
•CPR/AED I
In all libraries we used +/- 15 different tags already.
Example of a tag field in the library: "Poster;ALS;Belgium"
The problem is we can’t see all of the used tags in the refiners tab when you open it for the first time. (You can see Belgium or Cyprus is not in the list of tags.)
When you select one tag and add it as a refiner, the others eventually do show up. But never all of them together. It’s like he is only showing the most used (and maybe first selected?) tags first. I also think he might be having some trouble
with multi value selections in the tag field.
Does anyone else have the same issue as we do? And is there a solution already?

Hi Sasha,
According to your description, my understanding is that all the used terms cannot display in the Refiners in Content Search web part.
If the results display in the Search Result Preview, then the terms used in these results can be displayed in the Refiners tab.
I tested the same scenario per your post, and when I first opened it I can view all the terms which were used in the search results listed under owsmetadatafacetinfo.
I recommend to do a full crawl and then you can view all the terms used in the search results are displayed under owsmetadatafacetinfo.
Best regards.
Thanks

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.

It appears all the time, even when the current user is not a member of the named SP group.

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 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”.
Here is a similar issue, you can use as a reference:

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/
Still trying to figure out why this happens , every time I create a new label I have to go and create folder manually and paste "CustomStrings.js" file in it. any body knows ??
Thanks.
