    captainclito Here is the solution. As i used the microsoft search box i had to connect the search result web part to it; i didn't do it that's why it didn't work. https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/usage/search-results/connections/

Hello captainclito 

 

is that an „and“ or „or“ before the path? And i have see that you put in the query in the Microsoft Search box, not in an PnP Search Box, try to configure a PnP search box and check your results.

 

Regards, Dave

DaveMehr365Hello thanks for the answer. Actually the request can be read like this 

{searchTerms}
(fileextension:docx OR fileextension:doc OR fileextension:pdf OR fileextension:xls OR fileextension:xlsx OR fileextension:pptx
OR fileextension:ppt) AND
(Path:https://TENANT.sharepoint.com/sites/SITEX OR
Path:https://TENANT.sharepoint.com/sites/SITEY)

Furthermore i use Microsoft Search box because i modify search parameter so that result be put in a my custom page and i used in the pnp search result
