Change default link to search in SharePoint online
When we input the keyword in this Search box in SharePoint online,
the default link that launched is like this :
https://domain-name.sharepoint.com/sites/site-name/_layouts/15/search.aspx/siteall?q=test
How can I change the default link from 'siteall' to 'sitenews' when launching the search in SharePoint online?
https://domain-name.sharepoint.com/sites/site-name/_layouts/15/search.aspx/sitenews?q=test
Thank you
Hello arine1901
news posts are pages, there are saved in SitePages. But news posts have a promoted state 1 or 2, you can filter this property in your query. You can find more informations in this blog from Gregory Zelfond : https://sharepointmaven.com/news-post-page-vs-sharepoint-page-in-sharepoint-online/
Example:
{searchTerms} contentclass:STS_ListItem_WebPageLibrary AND RefinableString104:2
contentclass:STS_ListItem_WebPageLibrary >> only webpage libraries
RefinableString104:2 >> I have mapped ows_promotedstate to the RefinableString104
For sure, you can add more properties like PATH in your query.
Hope this helps.

- I agree with David, I don't think you can change this but you can add new verticals and also the results layout. I guess your second example is after clicking on the News vertical.
Hello arine1901
i think it's not possible to change the the default scope from the Microsoft Search Box on top. You can only define the scope or redirect to an custom search page. In the custom search page, you can define the default scope.
Here are the possibilities of the current search box: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/manage-spo-search-box?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/manage-spo-search-box
And here are more information about custom search with PnP Modern Search Web Parts: https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/

DaveMehr365 If we disable the status of the "All" tab, it will give error response because of the default link that launch first.
So, we have to always enable the "All" tab.
Now, I try to add a query for filtering the result only give the news post type.
What is the right ContentClass of the news?Path:https://domain-name.sharepoint.com/sites/site-name IsDocument:1 FileExtension:aspx ContentClass:
is the query correct?Thank you
