Filter/refine sharepoint search result

Hi All,
I have the following scenario.
I'm working on Sharepoint online 2013. I need to filter Search based on a dropdown list in the page. I want the search webpart to read value from dropdown , add it to the url and filter results based on it . This drop down is not a part of Refinement web
part. How can I achieve this ?
Thanks for your help

You can either create a custom control template which has the logic and appends the selection to the query, or add custom html/script which adds a URL parameter which you can pick up as a variable in a query template. You can read more about query variables

SharePoint Search Result Source Filter By Variance

Hi,
I want to get pages library data by language (English and German). I have created two result source in sharepoint search. In Query transform I have given below condition. But it is not filtering data as per language wise. I only want to get English variance
site data in EnglishResultSource1 and German variance site data in GermanResultSource2.
EnglishResultSource1
{searchTerms} contentclass=STS_ListItem_850 -Path=http://spe2013dev5:1111/en-us/
GermanResultSource2
{searchTerms} contentclass=STS_ListItem_850 -Path=http://spe2013dev5:1111/de-de/
But in result source it is not filtering data by path wise.
How can I filter by language/locate wise?

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.
http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/requestfiltering/denyquerystringsequences
Thanks to a colleague who spotted this; I would've never of thought to check the web.config for something like this.

Document Set name as refiner in Search results?

I'm wondering if there is a way to use the document set name as a refiner in a search results page so a user can search a specific site or document library and choose the document set name to narrow the results? Initially I thought I could create a
shared column on the document set (in the properties of the document set type itself) which looked up or calculated the document set name and then this would be shared with the documents within the set. I couldn't find a way to get the name of the set.
What would be the best way (if any), of getting the search results or document properties themselves (if I created a column which contained the document set name for e.g.) to show the document set (if populated) that the document belongs to?
Document Library
Document 1
Document 2
Document Set A
     Document A1
     Document A2
Document Set B
     Document B1
How can I get search results to show a refiner on Document A1 and A2 indicating they're in the same Document Set A? I realise I need crawled/managed property but how best should I set this up?
If this is not possible can anyone suggest an alternative please?
Many thanks!
Scott

Hi,
I am afraid that there is no existing managed properties on the document which we can count on to know which document sets the document belongs to. Just like what you said "created a column which contained the document set name", this could
be a workaround to achieve what you want.
To do that:
1. Add a new site column named DocumentSetName and add it to
DocumentSet Content Type. And give value "DocumentSet_A" for document set A and "DocumentSet_B" for document set B.
2. In the Document Set settings, enable the newly added column as
Shared Columns. It means that all documents added to this document set will share the column and its value.
3. Reindex this document library.
4. In the Search Results refiner, add the automatically created Managed Property
as Refiner.
With this method, you can filter the documents with the name of document sets when searching office documents in search center. The only information you need input manually is Value of the site column.

Moreover, if you have the requirement to create batch of DocumentSets without any manual input, you can refer to the following link which explain how to create them with proper settings and default values.

Bring back the Filter option in Search results

Well, not only Sorting is messed up (removed) from the latest realease of Spotify, filtering is as well. You can no longer filter (ctrl-F/cmd-F) your search results, and, as with many other great features killed without explanation, we want this one back as well. Thanks!
PS. You can manually bring back the old search - including sorting and filter options - if you write "spotify:search:[search term]" in the search field.

Is there a business reason why this feature hasn't returned, despite a huge number of complaints? (Matt Suda - does he work for Spotify? - writes in this thread that it is coming back but its status is still "Watch this space" in the monthly ideas review). I can think of a few business model reasons that Spotify doesn't want its customers to have filter/search. For example: 1- I bet it's reduced the amount of use by customers like me, so the business gets the "Health Club" revenue stream - loads of subscribers who don't use the service much. 2- Perhaps its a way of increasing use of the Facebook aspect of Spotify and so creating more advertising revenue. If we are wasting our time and effort asking for the return of this feature then please, Spotify, just tell us and we will vote with our wallets after examining the competition.

Categorize and filter enterprise search result

Hi All,
I want to know if it is possible to categorize and filter search result based on source (ex: list or library name or external content type etc). My client does not have FAST server license.
If this is possible with enterprise search without the FAST server could you please let me know how to achieve it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Display Like and Share functionality in SharePoint 2013 search result

Hello Experts,
I dont Know whether i am asking a good question or bad one . but i am not very much expert in search.
I have to display No of Likes , Share functionality in SharePoint Search Results.
i know little basic about how display templates works. i want to implement these like and share functionality as actions in Item_common_hoverpanel_Actions template. show that i can see in preview.
please if any body can help me . i will be highly thankful to you.
Mukesh

This will be difficult. The number of likes has a managed property called LikesCount but it is not populated by the search crawler. So your JavaScript will have to read the "LikesCount" field of the corresponding list item. That would be a
lot of code to execute in the item display template just to display the number of likes. You could have a button that displayed a callout that would get the information and display it. The Sharing could be done via JavaScript in your item display template
using a REST call. You can see an example of code to do that here:
http://sharepointfieldnotes.blogspot.com/2014/09/sharing-documents-with-sharepoint-rest.html?showComment=1428595550241#c3227376854590814312
Just remember the user must have permission to share these documents, so your code will have to handle this.

Search result to get data from bing search and display it in sharepoint page.

I have configured result source which gets data from bing site,i have given following url as source url
http://www.bing.com/search?q={?searchterms}&format=rss&Market=en-Us
but it returns only 8 results from RSS. i want to get all results of search and display it in my SharePoint search results page.
any pointers will be helpful.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to search result to get data from bing search and displayed it in sharepoint page.
To display more items, you can modify the item number when you add
New Query Rule.
To get all results, I recommend to use the “Show More”
link in the result page.
You can enter the URL when you add New Query Rule:
"More" link goes to the following URL: http://www.bing.com/search?q={searchterms}

Search Results Web Part, Managed Navigation and Paging

I am using managed navigation and have a search results web part that uses the Term.IdWithChildren as the query to filter the results by the selected navigation term. This works nicely until you need to us the paging. As soon as you go to the next page there are
no results.
It would appear that as soon as the URL has the #k=#s=11 added it looses the navigation term. This is a core part of the Sharepoint solution that I'm delivering and I cannot progress this any further and I'm going round in circles. I have another results
page that has the search results webpart on but doesn't use the navigation term filtering and the paging works fine.
As an alternative I was looking at writing my own search results web part, can I do this and render the sharepoint display templates somehow?
Any help would be appreciated.
Stuart

Hi Stuart,
i suppose you may need to check your design regarding this custom coding,
as i know, when i tried previously, i didn't take any attention on the query result, so that it appear as no result.
please have a check this links, it helped me once,

How to limit search results to a single web

This is probably an easy one to figure out, but I wonder what the best way would be to limit search results from a single web - do you create a content source for that or is there a better way, one which you can configure for multiple search site collections?

Hi,
In SharePoint 2013, we can create content resource for Search Service Application, site collection and site as below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj683115(v=office.15).aspx
If you are using Search related web part, you could create content resource in site collection and build query to path=http://webapplication*. Then configure web part to use the specific content resource. Please check the link below, the link is for creating
content resource in SSA, you could go to site settings > site collection > search result sources.
http://techmikael.blogspot.com/2013/04/limiting-search-results-in-sharepoint.html
However, I’d recommend you using property filter to limit search results to one web application. Please try the steps below:
Build your query.
Basics > query text, input path:http://sp:26* (this limit search results to web application sp:26)
Click test query and see if it return results.

Hi Moorthy,
can you please enable below setting to get search result for anonymous access.
To get rid of it please do the following.
Under the SharePoint Site go to Site Settings. Search Administration -> Search and offline availability -> Indexing ASPX Page Content, Enable the option "Always index all
Web Parts on this site"
Under Search Service Application, do a Full Crawl for the content source to resolve this issue.
see below link for more details

Search Preview, Open Search Result, Authentication, Security Trimming Users - Domain

hi all
Good morning. I hope someone can direct me in the right path.
Server Setup 1 - SharePoint 2013 (using as search engine - fileserver)
SharePoint 2013 Foundation - Latest Patches with HTTP
Windows Server 2012
Server Setup 2 - Office Web Apps 2013
Office Web Apps - Latest Patches with HTTP
Windows Server 2012
Issues that I am facing - Search preview
a. I have configure SP2013 as a search for my file server. I get all the searches but I cannot preview them. I have configured the Office Web Apps 2013 and can successfully see the XML file in various TechNet article's. No event errors. I have ran
various PowerShell commands, to see if SP connects with Office Web Apps and it connects. This is all Internal network and so I have used HTTP.
Issues that I am facing - Open Search Result
b. I have faced this when search a document, I tried to click on OPEN and nothing happens. The document doesn't open and no errors. However, if I send the document to a user, the path opens it directly.
Issues that I am facing - Authentication
c. I would like to provide our users the opportunity to search without entering username and password on a domain computer but required on a non-domain joined computers. Can this be done?
Issues that I am facing - Security Trimming - File Share
d. I have a file share with Access Based Enumeration enabled. Some users are given access and some others no access to view certain folders and files. Will this reflect the searches ?. I have set a READ-ONLY access account to the complete fileShare. Does
the searches appear to those who have access and doesn't appear to those who don't have.
I am willing to learn and so I ask some guidance where I have gone wrong with the setup.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Cheers
Jo

Hi Jo,
#1. Per my knowledge, the files in file share cannot be previewed with Office Web Apps in SharePoint search results.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fdc18024-1782-4acd-a498-70c53c1d2f64/office-web-apps-preview-of-fileshare-documents
If the documents in the site cannot be previewed, I recommend to use command
New-SPWOPIBinding to re-create the binding without Action parameter and then do a full crawl tosee how it works.
#2. Please check the URL of the file in your search results and then copy the URL in the browser to see if the document can be opened.
#3. I recommend to extend the web application to the internet zone and do not grant anonymous permission on the search results page in the internet zone. Then when the user wants to do search, then he will need to sign in to access the search results page.
#4. Yes, if the user has no access to the files, then he will not be able to search the documents in SharePoint and the documents will not appear in search results.
Best regards.
Thanks
