problem with pnp search always dispaying the same results

[captainclito]

Hello,

I am using PnP Modern Search web parts on sharepoint online and each time i try to search it seems that i got always the same results (and the same result count) whatever my search words is.

i did only one custom thing :on the text request of the pnp search result webpart here is what i put :{searchTerms}
fileextension:docx OR fileextension:doc OR fileextension:pdf OR fileextension:xls OR fileextension:xlsx OR fileextension:pptx
OR fileextension:ppt
Path:https://TENANT.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteX OR
Path:https://TENANT.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteY.

Do you have any idea?

here are some image with 2 different searchs with the same results

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.

@David MehrHello 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

Hello @captainclito 

have you tested it on a page with the PnP Search Box? Same counts of results? With Microsoft Search Data Source you have APi entity types to use: https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/usage/search-results/data-sources/

@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/

Actually i saw i didn't connect the search result to the search box that's why it didn't work. ;)
