I'm using PnP modern search web parts but the question applies to Sharepoint search in general. I'm restricting my search to published news posts but on the new post pages, there's a "recent posts" news web part so search includes content from that web part. As an example I have posts titled "post a" and "post b". If I search for "a" I get both posts returned because search find the "b" in the news web part. Is there a way to refine the search query to only look at the "canvascontent" field ie the body of the post, excluding other web parts on the page? Something like:
{searchTerms} Path: "https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx/SitePages" RefinableString01:xxx PromotedState:2 FIELD:CANVASCONTENT

SolutionHello @matt howell
to restrict the query for a specific field only, you can use {searchTerms} in your query.
Here is an example:
contentclass:STS_ListItem_WebPageLibrary IsContainer<>true RefinableString101:{searchTerms}
I have mapped the crawled property ows_CanvasContent1 to a managed property RefinableString101:
contentclass and iscontainer are only additional parameter to specific search for pages, without template folder. You can define them according to your choice.
Hope this helps.
