We have a custom landing page that we created for our Office 365 site. It uses the classic view and web parts. We have a search box web part that we use to send the query to a custom search results page. This custom search results page is only returning sites, groups, and blogs. Works fairly well, except it doesn't return private groups that the user is a member of. This may be a limitation that won't be fixed for the classic search.
As an alternative, I thought maybe I could pass the query to the modern search page
https://tenant.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx?q={query}&v=search
I can't seem to figure out how to pass the value of the query box. I've tried {SearchQueryBox}, {SearchTerms}, {QueryString}, nothing seems to work. It doesn't subsitute the variable, it just puts the literal {Text} into the search results.
When it goes to the page, it automatically passes &k=<search term>, but k isn't recognized by modern view, it is looking for q. {urlcontext} variable works, but that doens't help me.
Any ideas?
