Sharepoint 2013 returning results from userprofiles

Question

Hello, I need some help in cleaning up the results from a search query.
I've created a new page within SharePoint 2013 and added 2 script editors.
One script editor holds a search box:
<div unselectable="on">
<label unselectable="on">First Name Search: </label>
<input id="searchTextBox" type="text">
<input id="getColleagues" type="button" value="Search">
</div>
<div id="resultsDiv" unselectable="on">
</div>
The other holds the search query:
<script src="http://site/SiteAssets/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var spAppWebUrl = "http://site";
$("#searchButton").click(function () {
//var queryUrl = spAppWebUrl + "/_api/search/query?querytext='" + $("#searchTextBox").val() + "'";
var wildcard = $("#searchTextBox").val() + "*";
var queryUrl = spAppWebUrl + "/_api/search/query?querytext='*'&sourceid='b09a7990-05ea-4af9-81ef-edfab16c4e31'&rowlimit='500'&selectproperties='FirstName, LastName, PictureURL, SipAddress, PreferredName, WorkEmail'&refinementfilters='FirstName:"+ (wildcard) + "'";
alert(queryUrl);
$.ajax({ url: queryUrl, method: "GET", headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" }, success: onQuerySuccess, error: onQueryError });
function onQuerySuccess(data) {
var results = data.d.query.PrimaryQueryResult.RelevantResults.Table.Rows.results;
$("#resultsDiv").append('<table>');
$.each(results, function () {
$("#resultsDiv").append('<tr>');
$.each(this.Cells.results, function () {
$("#resultsDiv").append('<td>' + this.Value + '</td>');
$("#resultsDiv").append('</tr>');
$("#resultsDiv").append('</table>');
function onQueryError(error) {
$("#resultsDiv").append(error.statusText)
</script>
I am getting results, but not just the selectedproperties: FirstName, LastName, PictureURL, SipAddress, PreferredName, WorkEmail.
Can someone help me to get just the selectedproperties of FirstName, LastName, PictureURL, SipAddress, PreferredName, WorkEmail?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to get the User Profile properties using REST API.
If you want to use Search Query, here is a tool for your reference:
http://sp2013searchtool.codeplex.com/
If you just want to get the User Profile properties, we can use SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager
to achieve it.
Example:
Get Multiple Properties for the current user:
http://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties?$select=PictureUrl,AccountName
