Hi,

I was recently asked to add Rating refiner for the Search Results in SharePoint 2013 online site. The way we can achieve this is

Go to Search Administration à Manage Search Schema

Search for ows_AverageRating crawled property

Click on ows_AverageRating property

Map it to any of the RefinableDecimal properties

Edit the Refinement Web Part à Choose Refiners à Add the RefinableDeciaml00 property

The end result à

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I was getting the this error while trying to map Managed Property to Crawled Property, in this case

RefinableDate00 to ows_ArticleStartDate.

I was not sure why this error was coming. Searched for the answer but couldn’t find one. So tried the same thing after some time. And surprisingly it worked and it didn’t give the error.

So anybody facing this issue, should better relax and wait for application to come out of the paused state.

BTW, if anybody knows what does the error exactly mean share your knowledge please.

Bye.

Hi,

Let us take scenario where for a particular search term (parental in our case) we want to show a particular document as the top link to the user in the results.

For this we need to configure Query Rules in SharePoint 2013.

Go to Site Settings à Query Rules

Here we have selected “Local SharePoint Results” for the context on which the Query Rule will run.

Next click New Query Rule to create a new query rule

Give name to the rule and specify the condition

For e.g. if the query matches either parental or parental leave then show promoted results.

Click on Add Promoted Results to configure the promoted result.

Here in the Add Promote Result box we have specified the Title for the promoted result and also the URL of the word document that should show up in the search result

‘

Save it and search with the term parental

The result

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Out of the box the Refinement web part shows the different filters, but it doesn’t show the number of count for the results.

For this we need to modify Filter_Default.html page that is being used by these filters.

Go to the master page gallery

https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/contoso/_catalogs/masterpage/Forms/AllItems.aspx

Select Display Template à Filters à Filter_Default.html

Download the file

Make the following change in it

Change the ShowCounts to true and upload the file.

Do the search again and we will see the count

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Check out the following discussion before trying to create External Content Type using SharePoint Designer 2013 preview.

There seems to be a bug in it and unfortunately i have wasted enough time to get it working.
