  • hi, Please correct me If my understanding is wrong ? You are asking that you want to create a page where the search results has to show, when a user type the text on search text box and hit the search button or press enter. it has to redirected to your page and you want to display the results in your own page ?

Please check this it might helpful to you.

  1. You create a result source in Site search settings for this go to Site Settings -> Search -> result source -> create new result source

go to result source create new result

  1. type the name of the source and click on "Launch Query builder"

Query builder

  1. Paste the Query which is given here

    {QueryString.MyParameter1} {?owstaxIdMetadataAllTagsInfo:{Tag}} (FileExtension:doc OR FileExtension:docx OR FileExtension:xls OR FileExtension:xlsx OR FileExtension:ppt OR FileExtension:pptx OR FileExtension:pdf) (IsDocument:"True" OR contentclass:"STS_ListItem")

  2. click on Ok and Save button to create result source

  3. you create a web part page like "Result.aspx" in page library
  4. insert search result webpart and go to Webpart Properties and select the result source and click on apply and ok to save the changes

Webpart properties Switch mode select the result source

  1. after that you can specify url for anchor tag "/Pages/Search.aspx?MyParameter1=Title:filestartname*" with query string. in your case <a href="mysite/Pages/Search.aspx?MyParameter1=Title:filestartname*">; Click Here to open File</a>

  2. it automatically filter the result and show based on "filestartname".

Please check and let me know if you need any additional information.

  • If you keep this {QueryString.MyParameter1} and in test result preview you cannot see the results as the query text comes from query string. You just save and pass manually in the url and you can the results on the page directly.

  • May be Title(Title:filestartn‌​ame*) field is blank for all documents in library. you try with other fields present in library which has data like author. author:admin*
