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?

    Hi Mikael Svenson and John_Sanders I found one variable that did work with the EditorOWSUser managed property; {User.Email} will show the correct results.

        Ulrikke Akerbæk can you give us the full scenario?

         

        In HC today you can filter by "Recented changed" or "Recently added", and then set "Since" to "Today". Sounds like that's either too hideen, or not meeting your needs.

         

         

        Love to hear how we can improve.

         

        Thanks.
