Highlighted Content showing non-relevant content

[AlissaBB]

Hi,

I'm trying to show Highlighted Content that is filtered based on a Managed Metadata column called "Apps." I am currently encountering 2 issues regarding this:

1. When I use the "Managed Property" filter, my "Apps" column shows up, but there is no content showing up in the Highlighted Content.
2. When I filter using KQL with the query Apps:"SAMPLE", content shows up in Highlighted Content, but there are some content highlighted that do not have "SAMPLE" as the input in Apps column.

How do I make it so that Highlighted Content is very strict when it comes to the content being highlighted?

Hello @AlissaBB 

map your column to a managed property and use the mapped managed property in the KQL query.

Here are an article from me: https://www.ioz.ch/blog/sharepoint-highlighted-content-mit-benutzerdefinierten-suchabfragen-dynamisc...

And how you map properties: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/community/how-do-site-columns-become-managed-propert...
