RefinableString in SharePoint Online

Brass Contributor

Hi, I want to make a custom search in SharePoint. I want to search News by choice column for example user types: Tag:Home and i would like to show him a news from sharepoint where in column is chosen "Home" Value. For that search i want to use a default search box built in bar.

Hello @buszi99

 

you need to map your crawled property to an RefinableStringXX managed property:

After that (and a moment...) you can search into your Microsoft Search box for that:

Hope this helps.

OK, i did like you mentioned and it works, but it doesn't work with site pages folder. Do i need move those sites to another list ?

Hello @buszi99

 

right, same issue here, not possible in SitePages library. 

 

As alternative you can use the filter pane:

Click on your column you want to use in filter pane - column settings - pin to filters pane.
