spfx pnp search API: Search by content type and part URL

Question

I have a requirement to makes an SPFX search webpart that can be searched by content type and also partial item url but it has to only return a specific content type from all sites accept root.

The content type is a list item and I'm using urldepth>1 to exclude root. However it returns no results when I try to search for site name or other parts of the url

I cant share all the code unfortunately due to the nature of the project.

Here it the basic query that the search object uses to generate the initial result set...

testQuery = "contentTypeId:0x0100BB00A852FB374E4FA11A71309A944B75* urldepth>1";
let _search: Search = new Search(this.props.wpContext.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl); 
let _results = await _search.execute({
      Querytext: testQuery,
      EnablePhonetic: true,
      TrimDuplicates: false,
      RowsPerPage: itemLimit,
      RowLimit: itemLimit,
      EnableSorting: true,
      StartRow: currentStartRow,
      SelectProperties: [ Constants.fieldName_Title, Constants.fieldName_SiteUrl, Constants.fieldName_ProjectStatus, Constants.fieldName_ProjectProposer, Constants.fieldName_Created, Constants.fieldName_SiteRelativeUrl ],
      SortList: [
        {
          'Property': Constants.fieldName_Created,
          'Direction': 1
        }
      ]   
    });

And in addition they can type into a text box to append keywords to the query. However it didnt work in the webpart so I took it to the modern search page to figure out if I'd made an error in my webpart somewhere

This returns no results but when searched for separately it seems to work. I just cant seem to get them working togeather in a single query.

Appreciate any help you can give on this one.

Cheers!
