Got it!! I tried to put the filter in the querytekst. Seems to be a wrong approach. This is the working code:

 pnp.sp.search(<SearchQuery>{
      Querytext: "ContentType:TEST_matters",
      RowLimit: 10,
      EnableInterleaving: true,
      RefinementFilters: ["RefinableString18:equals('false')"],
      }).then((result: SearchResults) =>

You can pass a plain object of the search properties from the query string into the search method. You can check the wiki page on search to help get you started.

Hi Patrick Rodgers. I tried this but it looks like I'm doing something wrong.

pnp.sp.search(<SearchQuery>{    Querytext: "ContentType:TEST_matters&refinementfilters=RefinableString18:equals("false")",
    RowLimit: 10,
    EnableInterleaving: true,
}).then((r: SearchResults)

Can you help me out here?

Thanks
