Search navigation web part question

I try to configure search navigation and User Current Query from drop down always say target not found. I try to change to search results web part ,but it is not working. It set back to target not found.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot change the User Current Query from in the Search Navigation web part.
I recommend to delete all the search result web parts in the result page and then add a new search result web part, then change the User Current Query from in the Search Navigation web part.
Best regards.
Thanks

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.

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,

Search Query Web Part thumbnail image link broken

Hello,
I have 4 farms spread across the world and I want to pull news from Farm 1 (headquarters) into farm 2, 3, and 4. In SharePoint 2007 I did this with content deployment by pushing only the news site out to the other 3 farms. However, from
reading content deployment guidelines in SP13 I feel this is no longer a supported configuration.
I am trying to use the search query web part to accomplish this now. I have a search query web part that I am using to roll up articles from SharePoint at farm 1. So far it is mostly working, the articles are pulled in and I can see
them. When I click the link it takes me from the current farm (farm 2) to farm 1 to read the article. The only problem I am having is that the rollup image does not display at farm 2, 3, or 4. I believe this is happening because the image
URL at the source is getting saved as a relative URL. Even if I try to override the relative URL to the image with an absolute URL then it just forces the URL back to a relative URL because clearly SharePoint is smarter than I am and there is no reason
I should ever want an absolute URL.
I should add that to get this working, in my search settings, I had to configure an extra content source (to farm 1).
So my question is what is the best way to handle this? Is there an option in my search configurations on farm 2 to override URL's for a particular content source? Am I even headed down the right path trying to do this with the content search
web part?
Thanks,

Hi Tom,
I have been trying to figure out what you mean when you say I am using 'Page item' instead of 'Picture'. I don't understand what you mean.
When I set up a page that will be published I have actually been using an 'Article Page' content type for the news item I want to share on all of the farms. After creating the page there is a section at the bottom for a 'Rollup Image' I specify
the URL in this rollup image but the actual image is stored in an 'Assets' Library. I have no problem with the article page itself showing up on Farm 2, just not the image. The "Rollup Image" data type is Publishing Image - "Rollup
Image is a site column created by the Publishing feature. It is used on the Page Content Type as the image for the page shown in content roll-ups such as the Content By Search web part."
Question 1: Are you saying that I need to somehow replace that rollup image field with a custom site column field?
Question 2: If I set up a new column then do I need to worry about connecting catalogs?
In your post from December 9th it sounded like you had this working in your test environment.
Question 3: Did you have it working using a different configuration there?
Question 4: If so, did it require having a separate web application just for Assets, or were you using a custom site column there?
In Farm 2, after I connected my catalog from Farm 1, I found that a Pages library at the top level of my site collection contained some strange entries. I have files in that library called
CatalogItem--1684387697
CatalogItem-364050575
Category-
Category-1211-4576
The first CatalogItem gives me an error "Sorry, something went wrong". The rest seem to contain images from Farm 1. However, news articles still are not finding those images. I suppose that is because the 'Rollup image' link is
still pointing to a different path than that connected catalog. Anyway, those items were checked out to me and were not published. I checked them in and published those Category/CatalogItem connections hoping that would work, but
that didn't help either.
When I set up my catalog in farm 1 I only checked 'Enable this library as a catalog'. None of the other fields seemed to apply since I am not publishing to a public site (Anonymous access) and also since I am not trying to tie identifiers to catalog
items (Catalog Item URL fields). Additionally when I connected to my catalog I tried "<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_connectionTypeSection_fullConnection">Integrate the catalog into my site" with the setting "</label><label
for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_rewriteDecisionSection_noURLRewriteRadioButton">Make URLs point to source catalog". I also tried "</label><label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_connectionTypeSection_manualConnection">Connect,
but do not integrate the catalog". Both of those settings sounded like they might force catalog items to look to the source (Farm 1). Neither worked. There are a lot of other settings but none of them seem to apply to my situation.
I'm not trying to configure Navigation Hierarchy, Category Pages, or Item Pages. Maybe I need to do something with "Catalog Item URL Format", but I'm not sure what settings I should try.</label>
Questions 5,6: Do you have recommendations for my catalog/catalog connections to get this working? Obviously my current configuration is not right or else it would work, but am I even close?

How to configure search results web part to display results only after a query is generated from user?

Hi All,
I am crawling documents from a file server. I created a new content source and crawled the documents. All documents are crawled successfully.
Then I went to my enterprise search center site collection and created a new result source. I have added the query to use above content source.
After that, on a page I am trying to configure the search results web part to display documents using this result source. Now the problem is:
It displays all the documents that are crawled without searching for anything. I mean first it should not display any results. If a user searches for something , then according to that search it should display results.
Any idea how to do this in the web part? I am using SharePoint 2013 on premise enterprise edition. No code. Totally OOTB.

Hi Mohan,
What did you use for the Query text in the result source?
I could reproduce this issue when I used Query text like: {searchTerms} Path:”http://sps2k13sp/sites/First/Shared%20Documents”
Then I changed the Query to
{?{searchTerms}
Path:"http://sps2k13sp/sites/First/Shared%20Documents"}
, then Search result web part didn’t return results without searching.
So , check your result source, and use the Query like the above(adding "{?...}").
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Search Result Web Part - "Sorry, something went wrong " Unless users have edit rights.

I have a SharePoint 2013 farm. On content pages, we are using search result web parts. If the user has edit rights, they work but if the user has only read rights there is a "Sorry, something went wrong." Error.
Thanks for your help in advance.

This is a pretty generic error in SharePoint that can be caused by any number of things. You can take a look a the Web Parts Maintenance Page by adding "?content=1" to the URL of your page. If you recently added a web part to the page or some other customization,
this will allow you to turn it off.
More than likely though, you will have to do some digging. Whenever you are in that page and get an error, you get a correlation id like in your example above. You can dig deep into the logs by finding them (typically in C:\program files\common files\microsoft
shared\15\logs). Look for the most recent file and do a search it in and see if you can find that correlation id. If you can't find it you might try the previous log. When you find matching entries for the correlation id, you should get some idea to the component
that is failing and causing your issues.

Custom Search Results web part: show only sites wherein the current user has access

Hi,
I'm trying to create a custom Search Box and Search Results web part in one of my web application. The search result should show only sites wherein the current user only has an access. Do you have an idea how to implement this? Thanks. :)
Regards,
Napster

Hi Napster,
From my experience, we can only search the result which we have view permission at least.
Please provide more information about your requirement if there is misunderstanding.

Search results web part error, missing tabs.

Hello,
I have a custom master page built from an html on Sharepoint Online.
I want to add a Search Results webpart on my page, but when I do it, I see that this webparts has missing options. I only have the first two, and are not even complete, I cannot swith between basic and advance query and I don't have the refinement, sorting,
test tabs..
Opening the developer tools for the popup, I see the following error.
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'add_resultRendered' of undefined on Search.configuration.js on line number 1.
The point is, that if I quit my masterpage and I put the seattle, the webparts works perfect. So I know that there is something missing on my masterpage, but I don't have a idea about what can be.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,

Hi arcanedevice,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Search Result Web Part was not showing data for Anonymous Users.
The cause of this issues was due to security trimming. For resolving this issue, please do the followings:
Under the SharePoint Site go to Site Settings. Search -> 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
More information, please refer to the link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sowmyancs/archive/2010/07/16/sharepoint-2010-search-not-showing-any-results-for-anonymous-users.aspx
After the above, compare the result. If this issue still exists, please run the following PowerShell Script:
$web = get-spweb "http://yoursiteurl/subweb/subsubweb"
$list = $web.Lists["ListName"]
$list.BreakRoleInheritance($true)
$list.AnonymousPermMask = $list.AnonymousPermMask -bor ([int][Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBasePermissions]::ViewFormPages) #binary or adding the permissions
$list.Update()

Search Results web part - Custom Query using "Value with a parameter from URL" inconsistent

I have encountered what I think may be a bug, but I am hoping that there is something that I am missing.
Within my search site, I have created a new search results page where I want to customize the "Search Results" web part query. I can add in any number of property and keyword filters (using the "Build Your Query" dialog) without
issue... until I add a filter that uses the QueryString property (the builder dialog calls this "Value with a parameter from URL").
If I use {QueryString.MyParameterX} for filtering, it works beautifully in the query builder dialog. I see the expected results in the search results preview pane, but as soon as I apply the changes things become inconsistent.
If I close/reopen my browser and navigate to my page at http://myaddress/search/Pages/testresults.aspx?MyParameterX=test I see results. If I then refresh the page, I get a "Nothing here matches your search" message. I can then go to
the same address but change one character to an uppercase character and get results. Refreshing that same page again returns "Nothing here matches your search". I can only get search results one time per uniquely cased URL without having
to close/reopen my browser. This behavior was seen on both Firefox and IE.
Finally, I found that if I instead navigate to http://myaddress/search/testresults?MyParameterX=test, it always returns results. This, unfortunately isn't the best solution for me... but it is a solution.
Any insight that anyone can provide is greatly appreciated! I would really like to be able to depend on this working in all logical cases (especially since the search center of other sites is set using the path all the way down to /Pages).
Thanks!

Hi, have you been able to solve this issue? I'm getting the same issue and I cant solve it (required CU is installed).

Adding Description or Content Preview to Search Result Web Part

Hello,
I am on Sharepoint Online 2013 working on an enterprise wiki site. I've added a search result web part and configured a query to return the results I want. The
Results Control Display Template is set to Default and the
Result type for item is set to Sharepoint Wiki.
Is there a way to
1) Customize the item display template to add in a description value, or show the first 'x' number of characters from the content?
2) Customize the hover display to show only the body content (instead of complete page), or increase the zoom level where the content area is shown larger?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had images to attach but will have to attach them later as I cannot until my account is verified.

Search results web part, path and query problem

Hi
I am updating a search web part and I want to show results from a specific site, I m using "path" to filter results, results are being returned correctly but now query I type in search is getting ignored. for example if I type "zxcvbn" I
still get all results from that specific site. If I remove "path" filter I see proper results.
Can I edit web part query to include "path" and "query" I type in search box?

Managed custom properties at site collection level when used as refiner returns no value in search result web part

I have created certain crawled properties and mapped them to the OOB managed properties( refineable active ) in search schema at site collection level and tried to use them as refiner in the search
site at farm level but it returns no value.
But when i use the same crawled property and map it to a service level OOB metadata property ( refineable active ) and use it in search as refiner it returns result , Can you help as to why this difference is there.
What steps should i do so that site level refiners also work in the enterprise search
Thanks in advance

Hi Dextar,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a site level refiner in SharePoint 2013.
Here is a detailed blog you can refer to:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/tothesharepoint/archive/2013/11/11/how-to-add-refiners-to-your-search-results-page-for-sharepoint-2013.aspx
Be aware that any changes in the manage property required full crawl.

Results web part showing results before search query is typed in search box

2 part question
I am creating a wiki site in which the home page has a search box web part, and a results web part. I have the search box configured to return the results to the results web part. I created a result source and changed the query on the results
web part to use this results source. I am getting results from the library I am trying to, but...
1) The results web part is showing results when the page is loaded before any query is typed into the search bar. Why is this and can it be configured to just be blank until a query is entered into the search bar?
2) Is it possible to have 1 search box and 1 results part have 2 different scope choices? ie, 1 scope for the wiki library and 1 for a document library?
Thank you.

So I have to have 2 different search result web parts to have 2 different scopes if I wish to have the search and results occur on the same page? Would I also have to have 2 search boxes?
Also, I am trying to figure out this issue where results are being returned without anything being entered in the search box. I have {searchterms?} in my query, and documentation suggests this to be the way to handle this issue, but I continue to get
results shown in the results web part without even entering a search query. Please assist.

List web part searching - possible to disable filter?

I have a list with 15,000+ items (don't ask, it's a requirement and it won't change) which we manage by using alphabetical filters A-Z. Everything works great, including the search - by using the filters and an indexed alpha column. The problem is that
when we have a filter active on the list, the "Find an item" search will only retrieve results from the FILTERED results list. Is it possible to change the "Find an item" search to only display results from the ENTIRE, UNFILTERED list,
regardless of what filter is currently applied to the list?
Normally I would imagine the default behavior is desired, but in our case, if a user is directed to the list via the "A" alpha page, they are then unable to search the entire list without going to the requisite letter filter first.
In other words, here's a typical use case:
User is directed to the list. The list refreshes automatically (via javascript) to the "A" filtered version of the list, because otherwise SharePoint 2013 displays an error message "Here's the reasons you can't see this list". We avoid
the error by displaying the "A" filter as the default page first.
User searches for "Blah" but receives no results. This is because they are on the "A" filtered version of the list, which does not contain any entries starting with "Blah". All entries start with "A" instead.
-We just want the search behavior to return results from the entire list, without the filter. Is this possible?

Hi puargs,
It is by default that the “Find an item” search box will search from the displayed item of current list and we cannot configure its search scope.
What do you mean “The list refreshes automatically (via javascript) to the ‘A’ filtered version of the list, because otherwise SharePoint 2013 displays an error message ‘Here's the reasons you can't see this
list’. “ ? Could you provide more detail about the error ?
Also for a workaround, you can create a dedicated search page for managing the list:
Create a webpage page “Manage List”.
Add a Search Box Web Part and a Search Result Web Part.
Edit the Search Result Web Part -> Change query -> In Quick Mode: set Select a query to Items matching a content type (System) , set Restrict by app to Specify a URL and input the url of
your list in the below input box, set Restrict by tag to Don’t restrict by any tag, set Restrict by content type to Item. -> save your configuration.
Then you can search the item of your list by inputting keywords in the search box.
Thanks,
Eric

{Today} variable in content search web part

Hello,
I am having issues with the {today} variable in the SharePoint 2013 Content Search Web Part. I’m trying to get all list items that have a Start date greater or equal to Today.
I created a Search Managed Property called “NewsPublishingStartDate” (Date and Time type) and set the Content Search Web Part’s query to NewsPublishingStartDate>={Today}.
The problem is that list items are being displayed in the web part 4 hours before the Start date. As an example: items that have a Start date of April 18 will start appearing in the Content Search web part April 17 at 8PM.
Time zone for my web app was not set at first: I’ve set it to Eastern Time (US & Canada) and did a full crawl but I got the same wrong results.
What I am missing?
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi,
As SharePoint stores all the DatetTme values in UTC time in the database, so the date value displays as UTC time zone in the search core results web part.
If you need to change the time in the search results web part, you can export the web part and then edit the code for converting the time to the time zone you want.
Here are some links for you to refer:
