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.

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,
Wendy

  • 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.

  • How to display Column of a particular list to page using Content Search Webpart?

    Hi,
    If you just want to display two columns of a list, Content Query Web Part will be more appropriate:

  • Display Search Results of Content Search WebPart in a Calendar Style

    Hi,
    I have currently the requirement to gather events from calendars (event list) that are spread among dozens of site collections. Calendar rollup or overlay only works within a sitecollection (right?). 
    I thought that I might be able to use the Content Search WebPart for this task. Is it possible to create displaytemplates that transform the search results into a calendar like view?
    Thanks
    Sven

    Hi Sven,
    As I tested, I can overlay SharePoint calendars across site collections in the same web application. However, by design it doesn't work across web applications.
    I'd like to confirm if you are overlaying calendars across site collections or web applications. If your situation is the former, did you recieve any error message?

  • How to extend OOTB Content Search WebPart in SharePoint Online/0365 programmatically ?

    Hi All,
    We have some requirements wherein we need to extend some of the properties of Content Search WebPart in SharePoint Online/0365 using javascript (I am using 0365 NAPA tools). We are looking to create an App Part which functions same as content search webpart.
    To be specific I want to override "QueryText" property of CSWP (using javascript in NAPA tool).
    Any help would be greatly apprieciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dhananjay.

    If you're talking about affecting the CSWP within a host web from within an AppPart, then no it won't be possible as the AppPart runs within an iFrame.
    Perhaps a better approach might be to run your searches within the AppPart using the REST interface for search. Chris O'Brien has a pretty good example of this on his blog..
    http://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2013/01/calling-sharepoint-search-using-rest-eg.html and I think Scott Hillier did a session at SPC which you should be able to find on Channel 9. (Just search for REST SEARCH API)

  • 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.

    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:

  • 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.

  • 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 .

  • 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;

  • 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.
    Thanks

  • Content Search WebPart Template Group by

    Hi,
    Iam trying with no luck to créate a display template for the content search webpart with grouping by the publishing date.
    I want to show news grouped by the month of the publication, but iam not being able to group the ítems by any managed propertie.
    Can this be done?, if you have an example i will really appreciate it.
    Thanks!!!

    The only form of grouping supported by the CSWP is collapsing but I guess it's not what you're after. I'm afraid you would have to implement it yourself in the Display Template.
