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.

Hi 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,
davidh

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

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.

Room content search in Collaboration not working

Hi,
I have created one collaboration room, it has documents and discussions. I have configured the indexing for the room. Now i am using the Search Room iview in collaboration for those particular room to search the discussion forum, it is working fine, but problem in searching the documents inside the room which gives result as 'file not found'.
But i am using Tool Area Search Option for searching the same content,it will display the files.
I followed the steps to create and configure the index.
System Administration --> System Configuration --> KM --> Index Administration --> create the index for those rooms.
I have set Datasource to "room_extension" in the index and "collaboration" folder for discussion search. please let me know if I miss anything.
Thanks in Advance..
Prakash.

Prakash,
Which template have you used for room creation- SAP std
or custom ? if custom think you may have to map iview
parameters properly for the search iview too.
It needs the following : RoomStructureRid = roomstructure_rid.
Also cross check the steps with this url
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8c/d79e420fc40b31e10000000a1550b0/content.htm

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 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;

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
since the value is New department (space between two words)
Any help on how to query correctly.

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

You’ll need to know about certain search features such as
managed properties.

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
Thanks & Regards,

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)

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.

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.

HT4623 Since I installed the new update, my search feature will not work. It will only search my ipad. None of the searh engines work in Safari

Since I installed the new operating System, my search feature does not work. I can only search my ipad. None of the search engines work in Safari. How do I fix it?

Just just to make sure, you do not see something like this when you try to do a search in Safari?
Try clearing Safari in Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and data. Then close Safari. Double tap the home button and drag the mini Safari window up toward the top of the screen in the multitasking display in order to close the app. Now reboot the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
Try Safari again.
The Spotlight Search feature on the iPad search) no longer searches the web, that is simply the way that Spotlight works now. Sort of a backwards move IMO but somewhat typical of Apple these days.
