I have a customized search web-part developed for SP2010 wich according to the source code is using Scopes in its query-string. The whole SP environment is now migrated to SP2013, and Scopes are no longer af part of 2010. Because of this change, the web-part does not longer display any search results.

Which solution is needed here? My tought was to create result sources in 2013, containing all the appropriate site-collections, and then change the source-code, the query string til hit the result source instead of the scope. Is this the correct way to do it?

enter image description here

So this is how the web-part looks like.

  • The text field is a regulra search field
  • Zip code is a managed property
  • Town is a managed property
  • And there are some more managed properties

The query string in the url-field ends with "...myPageWithWebPart.aspx?k=sharepoint?s=myScope"

So the data is not returned because the query-string is set to look after scope with name MyScope. So any idea how to change this to be working with 2013.

Use the SourceId parameter instead of the "s" parameter.

http://server/_api/search/query?querytext='sharepoint'&sourceid='8413cd39-2156-4e00-b54d-11efd9abdb89'

  • That could be the solution. I did try it out with the source-id for my Local Result Source instead of the s=Scope parameter, and it did display results from the Local Result Source. So I have to change the string-query to use source-id instead of scopes ? :)

  • Yes, the s parameter is only for 2010.
