Search Results: People by Department AND Sub-Department

Question

Can SharePoint Search People by Department and include Sub-Departments?

• My organization has Departments with Sub-Departments.

• I have created terms in the term store:

For example:

1. Training Department
   • Training Sub-Department A
   • Training Sub-Department B
   • Training Sub-Department C

I created a page using the term "Training Department". On that page I added a search result webpart. The query is for people with Department: {Term.IDWithChildren}.

This method works for documents, but not people. Anyone know why?

Thanks!
