    I have able to solve this myself after alot of research...

    I have created scenarios where I'm searching a single list and another where I search 4 specific site collections and populate the values using the search verticals after creating 4 different results sources.

    I think the support docs could be cleaner for citizen developers and given the use case I would expect to be a considerable number of the folks trying this.

     

    Search a specific list:

     

    Search 4 sites (in one results source)
