RefinableString in SharePoint Online

Hi, I want to make a custom search in SharePoint. I want to search News by choice column for example user types: Tag:Home and i would like to show him a news from sharepoint where in column is chosen "Home" Value. For that search i want to use a default search box built in bar.

  • Hello buszi99

     

    you need to map your crawled property to an RefinableStringXX managed property:

     

     

    After that (and a moment...) you can search into your Microsoft Search box for that:

     

    Hope this helps.

      OK, i did like you mentioned and it works, but it doesn't work with site pages folder. Do i need move those sites to another list ?

        right, same issue here, not possible in SitePages library. 

         

        As alternative you can use the filter pane:

        Click on your column you want to use in filter pane - column settings - pin to filters pane.
