Modern Pages - Highlighted content not filtering search results for pages in other site collections
Thanks to Elsa Naumann who noticed the issue with () and contenttypeid has been fixed. Guess stuff happens in the dark :-D
The query is however not optimized adding unneeded OR's - but who cares right? :)
MicrosoftThanks for reporting this issue; it is now resolved.
(I opened a bug internally when it was reported, and forgot to reply here it seems.)
Thank you!
Hi John_Sanders, any chance you can turn off near duplicate trimming in the highlight web part is well? Either change the default behavior or give us an option.
The near duplicate trimming in SP search is just not a good thing- and seems to ignore Title all together for modern pages at least. Create multiple articles as modern pages, give them unique titles but write the same content in all, and only one will roll up.
Again, thanks to Elsa Naumann for bringing this to my attention :)

From reading your comment "The near duplicate trimming in SP search is just not a good thing- and seems to ignore Title all together for modern pages at least. Create multiple articles as modern pages, give them unique titles but write the same content in all, and only one will roll up." I think you're saying that searching directing on the site trims all the other pages with different titles and identical content inside (and it also removed them in HC)?
So you're asking for a new "Expert Settings" area (potentially), where users that know what they're doing could off-check "Near duplicate trimming"? Since I'm guessing normal folks wouldn't even think to off-check that as an option. Is that right?
The better option would be for the web part not to trim on default. If people want to trim, that could be a future expert setting. In my opinion the default is wrong (as it is in old wp's as well, and it's one of the most common fixes for "I don't find my item in search result", as it's been incorrectly trimmed away.
My wish is that you now have a chance to do the right thing and change the default behaviour as it's wrong. And if you do, I will do praise post to your honor :D

Hi John_Sanders thanks for letting us know - I've already tested it and it works really well.
