Search Refinement Panel webpart - filter on Content Source

Hi,
I have 6 content sources and would like the search refinement panel to be able to filter by Content
Source.
I have the refinement panel filtering for various other Managed Properties, but I'm struggling to get it to work for Content
Source.
So, for example, if my content sources were called 'Content Source 1', 'Content Source 2' etc. then then Search refinement Panel webpart would show:
Content Source
All Content Sources
Content Source 1
Content Source 2
And clicking on the filter link would refresh the page and show results only from that particular content source.
The content sources are a mixture of SharePoint and BCS databases and I have no access to modify either.
I have tried making my own 'MyContentSource' Managed Property in Search administration, but I don't know what the mappings would be.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Thanks Lisa, but scopes won't work here.
We have scopes defined already, one for each content source and 1 convering all the content sources, along with other conbinations of multiple content sources.
The scenario is this:
When I first visit the search results page, I want to see results from all the content sources so I use the scope containing all 6.
Then I want to use the refinement panel webpart to filter down to a single scope, all from the search results page.
This is something that is very easy to do using the Google Search Appliance and our company are currently choosing between it and Sharepoint search going forward. I think this will be the deal-breaker if I can't get this to work under SharePoint search.
At the moment I'm thinking that I might be able to do it using the SiteUrl or ContentType or something, along with a custom filter in the xml of the Refinement panel. Haven't tried it yet.
So along the lines of this:
<CustomFilters MappingType="ValueMapping" DataType="String" ValueReference="Absolute" ShowAllInMore="False">
      <CustomFilter CustomValue="[name of my content source]">
        <OriginalValue>[specific site url or content type maybe?]</OriginalValue>
      </CustomFilter>
Unless anyone has any better ideas?

Result Source Query Builder Filter for Content Sources

I have several content sources that I want to add to a result source as a property filter. It works fine if I just have one but when I add multiple content sources it does not give me all the results. Is there a way to add more than one content source
filter to one result source.

Hi SpGurlz,
How did you set the filter with content source in the query builder for the result source?
I tested with more than one content source as filter in the query builder for the result source in my environment, and all the corresponding results were displayed fine.
The query text for the result source was set like this: {searchTerms} contentsource:file1 contentsource:file2.
Remember to add a space between the “{searchTerms}”, “contentsource:file1” and “contentsource:file2”.
You can provide the query text of your result source here and I will help to check the logic.
Best regards,
Victoria

Adding Show more link in multi select refinement panel

Hi,
Is it possible to add show more link in multi-select refinement panel.In the default refiners, the show more link comes OOB.Is it possible to bring the same logic in multi select refinement panel?
Thanks,

Hi Saranya,
From your description, you need to create your own custom multi-value refinement panel and add Show more/fewer function:

People Refinement Panel not displaying "Department" filter category.

I am trying to create people directory in SharePoint 2010. I am using "People Search Core Result" web-part and "People Refinement Panel" web-part.
Following is the screen of my "People Search Core Result" webpart properties:
Following is the "Filter category Definition" in "People Refinement Panel"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FilterCategories>
<Category Title="Department" Description="Use this filter to restrict results to a specific department" Type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.WebControls.ManagedPropertyFilterGenerator" MetadataThreshold="5" NumberOfFiltersToDisplay="4" MaxNumberOfFilters="20" SortBy="Frequency" SortByForMoreFilters="Name" SortDirection="Descending" SortDirectionForMoreFilters="Ascending" ShowMoreLink="True" MappedProperty="DepartmentR" MoreLinkText="show more" LessLinkText="show fewer" />
<Category Title="View" Description="View matches by" Type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.WebControls.RankingModelFilterGenerator" MetadataThreshold="3" NumberOfFiltersToDisplay="3" ShowMoreLink="False" MappedProperty=""/>

</FilterCategories>
I have unchecked "Use Default Configuration" in "People Refinement Panel" web-part.
I can only see "Job Title" in refinement panel.
In above xml code, the metadata property "DepartmentR" is mapped to "People:Department(Text)". I even full crawled after creating this property but this property never appears in Refinement Panel. I even performed full profile synchronization
in User Profile Application but still no luck.
Please help.

Make sure the managed property has the following set
1. Allow Property to be used in scopes: Ticked
2. Reduce storage requirements for text properties by using a hash for comparison: Ticked
3. Add managed property to custom results set retrieved on each query. Note: Only the first 2 kilobytes of data is available for display by default: Ticked

What's up with filter bin content search not responding?

Search function (filter bin content) in the project panel doesn't respond. It always dark gray, not light gray. The search function under the media browser tab runs fine. And everything else works fine: CS6, Intel i7; Nvidia GeoF 670. Windows 7/Professional.
FIGURED IT OUT. THIS happens when the clips etc you are working with seem to be imported, but aren't. This is most likely to happen with us rookies who are training ourselves on something like video2brain's terrific Learn by Video series. The gotcha is that you you can work away on this training without actually importing, thus the filter doesn't work. Just go to assets and import a folder and the filter will light up!

Hi Mike,
The terms find and process are very general, and can apply to many functions of OS X. Therefore the Search results will be numerous and widespread.
Try using words that are more descriptive of the information you are looking for.
The more terms you use, will narrow the field. See the example below.
I also have noticed that, the "Quote A Phrase" function doesn't work as it used to, unless the phrase is quite lengthly. For example, an entire sentences can sometimes be found.
For a shorter phrase, I have better luck with searching, if I use search terms in this format search++discussions.
Which returns These Results.
Searching for "I have tried to search this discussion area to find out what is happening" returns This.

Search server express Content Source Type for file download

Hi All
We have recently installed Search Server Express 2010 in our organization. Now we want to create content source to search from our file server files.
Have used “File Shares" as "Content Source Type", and now this is working perfectly fine. But whenever we try to download the
files which are there in search result we wont be able to do that.
As well as search result shows the complete path of the file on file server.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Somnath

1. Should be much faster than that. Make sure you have an index on the KEY column (or, if a view, on the underlying column that the view is created on). Otherwise it will do a full table scan for each row it fetches.
2. 40 threads sounds a little high - we found the optimum level was between 10 and 15 threads. Have you checked the memory usage on the system? Perhaps all your threads are causing your system to page.
3. The column returning "LastModifiedDate" determines whether the content for that row needs to be reindexed. If LastModifiedDate is unchanged since the last crawl, the row will not be reindexed.

How to use Search content source

Hi
I have 2 different web applications, please tell me if the same content source will be used for both the web applications or two different content sources are required for the search.
Thanks
Paru

depends...
you can use one content source for both the web application - its just fine.
But... if you have specific requirements .. like you want to crawl both the web apps on different times ... or you want a different schedule for incremental crawl for both the web apps, then create two separate content source.
Thanks, Noddy

Unable to open search service content sources from SharePoint

HI
unable to open search service content sources from SharePoint , I got this error in search server event viewer .
A database error occurred. Source: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 Code: 1205 occurred 1 time(s) Description: Transaction (Process ID 66) was deadlocked

adil

Hi,
Based on the error message, I recommend to stop all the crawl process in SharePoint search service application by using PowerShell and then check the results:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2010/09/28/how-to-use-sharepoint-2010-windows-powershell-cmdlets-to-manage-search-crawls.aspx
The deadlock error will occurs when there are too many overlapping crawls, so I recommend to schedule the crawl to not overlap in SharePoint and add more crawl components if needed.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sharepoint_strategery/archive/2014/02/10/sharepoint-search-and-deadlocks-in-sql-server.aspx
If above cannot work, please also check the ULS log and SQL server for detailed error messages.
Best regards.

Refinement Panel show "file name" values with question mark instead of spaces

Hi,
I customized Refinement Panel to refine by file name. In some cases the value (file name) is shown with question mark instead of space. It looks like gibberish and the refine by that value doesn't bring the result.
Any ideas how to solve?

Hi Keren,
Please try to reset index in Central Administration > Application Management > Manage service applications > click the Search service application > Crawling > Index Reset > check the box Deactivate search
alerts during reset > Reset Now > Ok.
Then restart a full crawl in the Central Administration > Application Management > Manage service applications > click the Search service application > Crawling > Content Sources.

People refinement panel not showing filters that are based on the taxonomy

Hi,
I am just wondering if anyone have experienced the problem below or anyone has a solution:
I have set up enterprise search center and have left the People Refinement panel as default without changing or modifying the web part. However, the people refinement panel is only showing the "View" filter category and the other default
categories that are based on the taxonomy the managed data properties are not getting displayed. Also, when I search for a specific managed property that is mapped to a user profile property that is based on the taxonomy - I did not get any result.
The only related error I found was in the ULS log which start with below logs from the Query Processor category of SharePoint Server Search in ULS:
"Claim http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/nameidentifier: [domain\username] cannot be converted into SPClaim. Argument is an invalid original issuer identifier. Parameter name: originalIssuer"
The screen shot below shows more of the ULS log.
It will be helpful if any one has experience this and can advise.
Thanks
SO.

Hi all,
further info on above problem below:
I have really look into the ULS logs further down again and discovered a more likely cause of this problem is that a query likely issued by Query Processor is returning zero (0) results at ULS log entry below:
GetRowsReturned 0 rows [svcproxy.cxx:523] d:\office\source\search\native\ytrip\tripoli\bigtable\svcproxy.cxx
More details below:
Does anybody knows what line 523 in svcproxy.cxx mean and how to investigate further?
thanks
