grant_jenkins This is great!

Now, what if I wanted to do the same *from* a subsite, to only show subsite of the subsite? When I do this from a subsite in my site collection, it of course list all subsites from the site collection down. I tried changed the Source to This Site, to no avail - that only list the site the Web Part was on.

Thanks,
Lee

  You can try the following
  
  Set your source to This site collection then instead of Filter use a Custom query and enter the following:
  
  ContentClass:"STS_Web" AND Path:"https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitecollection/subsite" AND -Title:"Title of subsite"
  
  ContentClass:"STS_Web"
  
  will only look at webs
  
  Path:"https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitecollection/subsite"
  
  will ensure it only looks at the current site plus subsites within it. You just need to put your tenant, your site collection and your subsite you want to search under.
  
  -Title:"Title of subsite"
  
  is a quick way to hide the current site from showing up if you only want to show the subsites beneath it. Notice that it has a hyphen before Title which means exclude. Just have to be careful that no subsites contain the same title. A better option is using SPWebUrl, but it's not mapped as a managed property by default so would require some work to do that.

    grant_jenkins Brilliant! Worked like a charm.
    
    Last thing - to sort by Site Name or Title?
