Sharepoint Search verticals - Search in result source

[Justin_Gaultier]

Hello !
I'd like to make sure that in my sharepoint configuration, in the microsoft search, when my users do a search and select a certain vertical, that the results come from a specific origin of results.
So I've created a vertical area that takes the term that the user, but then I can't see what to put as an element so that the search looks specifically in a result source. For example, to search several lists, it would look like this:
{searchTerms} (ListID:id-of-my-list OR ListID:id-of-my-list)

Except that I need to specify a search order, and I think I'm obliged to go through a result origin. Except I don't know what to replace the ListID with. I've tried several things like sourceId, contentID, ... But nothing seems to work.

I think it must be possible because in the PnP Modern Search plugin it's possible to search in a result origin and the way it works (I've looked a little in the code) seems to be similar to microsoft search.

I'd be grateful if someone could shed some light on this. Thanks in advance!

Hi ! I try with the path property but I can't find the good one. I guess I see it's possible to search in folder but idk what url should I put to search in the results source. Hope you can help me ! Thanks for your previous answer !

Hello @Justin_Gaultier 

in Microsoft Search you can use the PATH property with a predefined path, only results from this path will be appear in the search results. Example resuls from the whole site:

Oh I think we misunderstood, my bad. I'm talking about this kind of result sources :

https://my-tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/my-site/_layouts/15/manageresultsources.aspx?level=site

I tried to find an url for this kind of result sources, but I can't find anything. Have you any idea ?

Hey @Justin_Gaultier 

ok, you use the SharePoint Search, it's different to Microsoft Search and not the same. In your PrintScreens you use the Microsoft Serach (on top on every M365 app): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/setup-microsoft-search

I have written an article about search technologies: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/community/microsoft-365-search-technologies?WT.mc_id...

I suppose you're correct; I will update the post with the accurate terms.

Nevertheless, my issue remains unresolved. Am I required to utilize the modern search to access result sources?

I wish to employ the search bar at the top of my site instead of a specific page.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Justin_Gaultier 

when you wanna use the Microsoft Search Box on top, do you need to configure modern Search verticals: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/manage-verticals?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 

When you wanna use your classic Search Result Sources, you can this in use PnP Modern Search WebParts: https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/usage/search-results/data-sources/

You can also use the Modern Search Box on top with a custom PnP Modern Search page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/create-search-results-pages?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-500484...
