Hello MVCuser

when you use the PnP Modern Search Web Parts https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/ you can define the Path:"" into your query.

Like:
Path:"https://TENANT.sharepoint.com/sites/MSTEvents/"

This query show's only results from the site MSFEvents.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Dave

Fantastic thank you David. Do you know when it comes to Filters: i created a column that has some choices. I try to use that as a filter but it is not showing me that column. Do you know what thaat might be (the column is a site column with many choices, i wanted to use those choices as filters)
Thanks

Hello MVCuser

yes, i think you need to configure managed properties:
https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/scenarios/set-up-managed-properties/

Please attention, this can takes several hours.

And then you can configure your filters:
https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/scenarios/page-with-filters/

Happy search 😉

  Hi, thank you for your quick reply.
  yes, i've seen that doc before and followed the steps (Site Column, content type) but yet i don't get to see the Managed Property when searching for it (and it's been a few days already) 😞

    Hello MVCuser
    
    you're welcome 😉
    
    Have you add content to your columns? Map your properties to default RefinableStringXX .
    
    So as last you can try to reindex your site or library:
