Dynamically Select Result Source in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I have a requirement to search content within a set of site collections based on user's locale. For each country we have multiple site collections. When user performs search, based on the language of the user, it should show only those results from
site collection that belong to a specific country.
I am thinking to create Result Source and add multiple "Path:<url>" parameters inside each result source. Is this a correct approach? If yes, how can I set the correct result source dynamically based on user's locale?
Is there any other approach?
Any pointers will be helpful.

You can always create Search scope of all countries and make sure that results is displayed from that scope.
However User need to provide a input to select the scope for his country. Try to use below script to pull locale and then use it in scope:

Powerpivot Data Refresh Not working with Oracle Data Source in sharePoint 2013

I am using SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for Excel 2010. Getting the following error in SharePoint 2013 environment, when using Oracle data source within a workbook -
EXCEPTION: Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPAddin.DataRefreshException: Engine error during processing of OLE DB or ODBC error: The specified module could not be found..:
<Site\PPIV workbook>---> Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPAddin.DataRefreshException: OLE DB or ODBC error:

I created a simple Excel 2013 PPIV workbook with an oracle data source and uploaded that to SharePoint 2013, but no change in the results - still getting the above error.
What is this error? We have installed Oracle client (64-bit, since we use 64-bit Excel and Sp is also 64-bit) on SSAS PPIV Server and SharePoint Content DB Server. Do we need
to install it anywhere else?
Thanks,

Hi Sonal,
To use PowerPivot for SharePoint on SharePoint 2013, it is required to install PowerPivot for SharePoint with the Slipstream version of SQL Server 2012 SP1. If you install SQL Server 2012 and then use the upgrade version of SQL Server 2012 SP1 to upgrade,
the environment will not support SharePoint 2013.
I would suggest you refer to the following articles:
Install SQL Server BI Features with SharePoint 2013 (SQL Server 2012 SP1):

in this direction?
So my requirement is bascially create the Result type with custom display template. Please suggest how to do using powershell script or sharepoint object model.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create search result source programmatically in SharePoint 2013.
Here are some links about creating search result source programmatically for you to take a look:

Error with OpenSearch result source in Sharepoint online

I have error with result sources that use the Opensearch protocol. I add them via Site Settings -> Edit Result Source -> New Result Source but everytime I test them in the Result Sources list I get error saying
key is null or empty
Parameter name: key
This same happens every time regardless of the source Url. I've tried with sources like Live Search (Copied the url from the preset source "InternetSearchResults"), and other sources I've found from documentation and examples for Opensearch
feature.
Also, the error message is always the same when testing the Result Sources from the Result Source list, Query Builder or searching from Sharepoint site.

I am having the same issue on o365 E3... any input on this? I have tried on 2 different envs.

Is Quick View (preview of file contents under search results) supported in SharePoint 2013 Foundation?

We recently deployed SharePoint 2013 Foundation but can't make Quick View (seeing the contents of a file when you hover the mouse cursor over it) work in the search results.
All Site Collection/Site Features are turned on. Not sure what else to do.
Does anyone have this feature working in SharePoint 2013 Foundation?
Thank you!

Hi Charlie,
To view the Preview of the Search Results you need to Install/Configure Office Web Apps Server in your farm.
Please check the below links for reference.

Can you refine people search results using a SharePoint 2013 search service application connected in SharePoint 2010?

We have an SP2010 farm which is now using some of the service applications from an SP2013 farm, including the search, managed metadata and user profile. This is part of an upgrade programme of work which will involve upgrading infrastructure and
then gradually the sites, and this is seen as one way to minimise the impact.
So, the SP2010 search results are being generated by the SP2013 which is indexing the SP2010 content. The initial results appear fine, however, the refiners in the people results for Job Title and Department are no longer working. We are receiving
a 404 page not found, even though the page is there as was working before.
If we compare the URL generated in SP2010 for refining results to an OOTB SP2013 search centre site, there is clearly a big difference to the format. Example below is where LastName is Smith and then refined where Department is HR.
SP2010 URL which now gives a 404 error:
http://intranet2010/search/pages/peopleresults.aspx?k=LastName%3Asmith&r=%22owstaxIdSPShDepartment%22%3D%23832e3479%2Dd168%2D4620%2Dac69%2D9b00a4c4205b%3A%22HR%22
OOTB SP2013 URL:
http://intranet2013/search/pages/peopleresults.aspx?k%3Asmith#Default=%7B%22k%22%3A%22smith%22%2C%22r%22%3A%5B%7B%22n%22%3A%22Department%22%2C%22t%22%3A%5B%22%5C%22%C7%82%C7%824335%5C%22%22%5D%2C%22o%22%3A%22and%22%2C%22m%22%3Anull%2C%22k%22%3Afalse%7D%5D%7D
I've looked at the URL decoded versions so can see how the query is built up.
Any ideas? Is this even possible?
Matt

All working now. Turns out there was an entry in the web.config which was causing issues.
<denyQueryStringSequences>
<add sequence="ID" />
</denyQueryStringSequences>
Seems IIS is denying something in the query string. We removed the whole section as was not needed.

Thanks to a colleague who spotted this; I would've never of thought to check the web.config for something like this.

1. Create the site collection by navigating to the CA(Central Admin) & select the Enterprise Search Center Template.
2. Create Content Source -> Navigate to the Search Service application->Create the content source if the content comes from other content farm (if different farm accout if it same add the site Collection URL in default Content Source. ( make
sure the crawl account must have full read permission)

SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Search and Document ID service

Hello,
as I understand search scopes are now deprected in SharePoint 2013 and I cannot add any new custom search scopes.
My problem is that on the document ID settings page, where I can choose the search scope, I can only see the deafult "All Sites" search scope.
Is there any way to add custom search scopes in SharePoint 2013, or make my default document ID provider use result sources insted of search scopes?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
Dimitar

Hi Dimitar,
Document IDs help you manage your documents by providing an easy way to track items regardless of their location. Even if a document is moved to another site, renamed or copied, it retains its Document ID. You can use the Document ID to easily locate it.
Document ID’s are automatically assigned to uploaded documents and this ID will follow the item throughout its whole life cycle. Consequently, Document ID should be unique among all sites, so that it won’t duplicated when documents moved among sites.
Document ID Lookup Search Scope allows a specific search scope to be used to look up documents using their IDs. The default search scope is “All sites” as you see, it means if you search certain document id, you are searching it among all
sites. If you would like to custom search scope for it, I’d recommend you create custom result source for it in Search Service Application. Although it is workaround, it might be more flexible and easier to achieve.
Here are some good articles for build search result sources in SharePoint 2013 for your convenience:

--http://www.bing.com/search?q={?searchterms}&format=rss&Market=en-Us Credentials--
I am passing the searchterms from the code :
KeywordQuerykeywordQuery =
newKeywordQuery(clientContext);
keywordQuery.QueryText = "tender or road Site:http://www.kenha.co.ke/";
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
the above code is not returning proper results. When i checked the log files the search is happening in the following way
--bing.com/search?q=((tender+AND+or+AND+road)+AND+)&format=rss&Market=en-us--
the query text which i am passing from the code is getting converted from :
"tender or road Site:http://www.kenha.co.ke/"
to
(tender+AND+or+AND+road)+AND+
i am new to search and i dont know how the querttext got changed. If any one has any ideas on how to fix the issue please let me know.

Use Querystring to define result source for searching

I am migrating a site from SP2010 to SP2013. One of page contain a search result webpart. By define the querystring like this:
SearchResult.aspx?k=Scope:Hotnews
It will return only the defined scope results.
However, SP2013 no longer provide Scope. Can I perform similiar trick with querystring? I have setup a Result Source "Hotnews" on my SP2013 farm. But I don't know the syntax in querystring or is it even supported. Could you please guide me? Thanks.

Hi Mark,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set the result source of your search result web part to a custom result source "Hotnews" in SharePoint Server 2013.
For achieving your demand, you can limit search results of your search result web part as below shows:
Reference:

Search SharePoint 2013 On-Prem with Office 365

We're trying to understand federated search in SharePoint 2013, when it comes to Office 365. We have both a SharePoint 2013 on-prem environment, and an Office 365 environment. The 2 are completely separate, and have not been configured to use a hybrid model.
Is it possible to configure a Result Source in either the SharePoint environment or the Office 365 environment to index the other? Reading this
article from Technet, it indicates that you can configure a remote SharePoint farm as a Result Source:
"Remote SharePoint provides
results from the index of a search service in another farm."
But I've read on another
thread on here that this is not possible from O365.
I'm hoping that someone can provide some guidance, or point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
cflbasser

Yes, you can receive search results from an on-premise SharePoint Server 2013 farm within SharePoint Online.
Hybrid search between SharePoint Server and SharePoint online uses federated search results. Neither the on-premise farm nor SPO crawl the other location, they just send a federated search query over the fence and wait for the results.
You can search in either direction (one-way hybrid search) or both ways (bidirectional hybrid search).
The one-way search can either be SharePoint Server sending search queries to SPO or SPO sending queries to SharePoint Server which also needs a reverse proxy for securely publishing your on-premise farm to SPO.
Bi-directional hybrid search just combines both one-way methods together so either location can receive search results from the other location.
Here are some further resources to help you plan and implement hybrid search:
Hybrid for SharePoint Server 2013
Configure hybrid Search for SharePoint Server 2013
