Thanks for your help.

I am trying to write a simple query in search results web part that looks like this: {SearchBoxQuery} AND ContentTypeId=completeidhere

However, the query returns results from everywhere. I have also tried ContentType with the name of the content type as well as the path property pointing directly to the document library.

However, in all the cases, it returns all the results.

Can someone please help out and share their thoughts?.

Thanks.

  • It will work with search box terms. This is ootb implemententation. You add AND only when required like limiting to 2 content types.

As mentioned in comments, you need to remove AND from the query.

Your search query would like {SearchBoxQuery} ContentTypeId=completeidhere

This is OOTB implementation of SharePoint. You need to add AND only when you want to limit the results between certain conditions for example as below:

{SearchBoxQuery} ContentTypeId=completeidhere AND ContentTypeId=anothercompleteidhere
