Thanks for the feedback David. I have heard from a few folks that we should support standard operators, like [me]. We don't currently support that, you need to use the display name. I've added this to our backlog. Your second example in managed properties works for me if I filter by your example ContentClass = STS_Site, with source = All Sites. Is it working for you now, or still failing?

Hi John_Sanders,

I see if I use query variables like {User} the variable is expanded when examining the returned JSON, but no results are coming back. Any good explanation to this? I see the web part sends a couple of custom props as well, and are they blocking the execution of good old query variables even though they seem to get expanded?
