KQL for getting documents in Content Search Webpart

Hi Guys,
How do I get the documents grouped by document sets and sites for the current user using KQL in content search web part in SharePoint 2013?
Thanks in advance.
nasayoo

Hi nasayoo,
In content search web part, there is OOB option to group results based on one or more managed properties. You could go to refiners tab when configure query of web part, then click Show more, under groups results, set it to group result per your requirement.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj679900(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_ConfigureWP
In addition, here is an article which provides methods using JavaScript to define a custom group display template for search web part:

Opening documents in Content Search Webpart

Hi,
I have configured Office Web app server with my SharePoint farm. It is working fine with document libraries. I have added the content search web part on home page. Office web app is not opening documents from CSWP. If i click in the document in CSWP, it
always prompts me to download the document.
Is this behavior is by design or i am missing some configuration in CSWP?
I have found article about same problem in Content Search Web Part.

Same work around for CSWP in SharePoint 2013? Any help?

I see it a default behavior
Try below as workaround
http://jeroenvanree.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/sharepoint-2010-content-query-web-part-open-office-documents-in-office-web-app/
First I added a couple of templates to get the File and Site Paths I needed to build the URL
ContentQueryMain.xsl
Template:
<xsl:template name=”OuterTemplate.StripLast”>
<xsl:param name=”pText”/>
<xsl:param name=”pDelim” select=”‘/’”/>
<xsl:if test=”contains($pText, $pDelim)”>
<xsl:value-of select=”substring-before($pText, $pDelim)”/>
<xsl:if test=”contains(substring-after($pText, $pDelim), $pDelim)”>
<xsl:value-of select=”$pDelim”/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:call-template name=”OuterTemplate.StripLast”>
<xsl:with-param name=”pText” select=”substring-after($pText, $pDelim)”/>
<xsl:with-param name=”pDelim” select=”$pDelim”/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
This template gets the Site Path out of the FilePathRef value of the file
ItemStyle.xsl
Call the template
<xsl:variable name=”SitePath“>
<xsl:variable name=”p” select=”@Description“/>
<xsl:call-template name=”OuterTemplate.StripLast”>
<xsl:with-param name=”pText” select=”$p”/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
In this case the Description field out of the content query webpart properties is used to fill the
FileRefPath
The next thing is to use this variable in the build of the string:
<a href=”/{$SitePath}/_layouts/WordViewer.aspx?id={$SafeLinkUrl}” title=”{@LinkToolTip}”>
<xsl:if test=”$ItemsHaveStreams = ‘True’”>
<xsl:attribute name=”onclick”>
<xsl:value-of select=”@OnClickForWebRendering”/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test=”$ItemsHaveStreams != ‘True’ and @OpenInNewWindow = ‘True’”>
<xsl:attribute name=”onclick”>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping=”yes” select=”$OnClickTargetAttribute”/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select=”$DisplayTitle”/>
</a>

Custom Display template for Content Search webpart

Hi,
I am trying to customize the out of the box "slideshow" display template for content search webpart which renders Images.
By default, the slideshow display template has a fixed the image size which is very small. Is it possible to increase the dimensions of the container or control template to show a much larger image size?
Can anyone please help on how to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to increase the dimensions of the container or control template to show a much larger image size in the Content Search web part.
I recommend to create a custom Display Template (control and Item display templates) and use JQuery Slider plugin to achieve this goal.
More detailed information are provided in the link below:

Building Query for SharePoint content Search Webpart

Hi,
There is a content search webpart being used for displaying the Related Items from a Page library. Whenever a new item/Page is added into the Page library, there is a column that accepts multiple values.
Now my requirement is, when a new page is added (which would be a part of custom page layout which has Search webpart) with a Column named say for Ex: 'Status' values as New, Old, Newer and when this page is opened, I want the search web part to display
all other items/pages whose 'Status' column values would have one among these.
As I do not have any idea on building the query with this webpart, any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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;

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.

Hi,
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.
You could customize your display template for Content Search Web Part, please refer to this article:

Limit Content Search Webpart to a specific list

Im am getting my feet wet with the Content search webpart, but I am stumbling over something that I believe should actually be easy, but I can't do it nevertheless.
I want to display only items with a certain column entry from a docstore within another sitecollection. I thought of doing this with the Content search web part.
1. In the advanced tab, I can limit the source of the query to a specific site, but not a specific docstore/List either through URL or ID. I simply get 0 results whereas leaving the ListID/ListUrl Parameter out, I get nicely all the relevant docs in the
site
path:"https://domain/sites/am/pm" AND ListID={5329496C-7D13-4417-ABD3-97E6629A32B2} (FileExtension:xls OR FileExtension:xlsx) (IsDocument:"True" OR contentclass:"STS_ListItem")
or another version
path:"https://domain/sites/am/pm" AND ListUrl=https://domain/sites/am/pm/Test_Musterportfolio/ (FileExtension:xls OR FileExtension:xlsx) (IsDocument:"True" OR contentclass:"STS_ListItem")
2. Certain Column entry: I will attempt to do this through creating a list column as a managed property and then take if from there. Found a
nice article in this Forum regarding that that Looks promising.
Any help is appreciated.
Raoul

Hi Raoul,
According to your description, my understanding is that there was 0 result when you search a library with Content Search web part in SharePoint 2013.
Whether you did a crawl when you used content search web part.
Please go to Central Administration, and do a full crawl for the content source. After crawling the content source , test the query in Content Search Web part, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Hide / Remove Content Search Webpart when no results returned

Hi SharePoint friends
I'm looking to find a way to hide the whole Content Search webpart (including the webpart title and border area) if there are no results coming back from the query.
What I tried
1. There is this property: "ShouldHideControlWhenEmpty" but it doesn't do anything when there are no results. The webpart is still visible. Webpart has a the Title and the Border around it so when
there are no results the title and the border show up with no results. Like I said I want to hide the whole thing in that case.
2. Wrote a jQuery script that searches for the text "There are no results" message (which comes from the webpart when there are no results) and hides the webpart. However, there is a short flicker once the page loads because the webpart first gets
rendered for a split second and then disappears by virtue of my jQuery script - which is not great UI experience.
3. So I thought I could extend the OOTB ContentBySearchWebPart and get a hold of some kind property that would get me the result count. If the results count is 0 simply I would hide the webpart server side. I looked
at the documentation online - nothing I could find that I could leverage.
Help? Thanks!

Hi,
To hide the whole Content Search Web Part when there is no result returned, a workaround can be like this:
In the “Web Part Properties” panel, set checked the “Don't show anything when there are no results”, set the Chrome Type as “None”:
By doing this, the whole web part will disappear when there is no result returned.

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.
davidh

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

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

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)

Content search webpart query

Hi ,
I am to trying to add a property filter to a content search webpart.I have to query the property with the page title of the current page.So assuming my page url ends with "/Pages/b1.aspx".I want to query by b1. I see that there is "value of
a token from url" option available in the drop down but I cannot make out how I can parse out the page title("b1" in the example).
Thanks in advance,

Hi ,
When you select Value of a token from URL, the query text will add {URLToken.1} by default. {URLToken.1} represents a value from the URL of the current page. The integer, in this case
1, represents the value in the URL as counted from right to left. So, for example, the current page URL where the content search web part is added in : http://www.contoso.com/SitePages/Home.aspx, the query variable {URLToken.1} represents the value Home.aspx.
For query variable {URLToken.2}, it represents the value SitePages .
This means only if the current page where the content search web part is added in is bi.aspx, you can add {URLToken.1} and filter all results whose URL contains bi.aspx in the last.
For achieving your demand, you can create a new content source with the URLs you want .
