I have a SharePoint Content site which also has a document library. The document library has columns that classify the document. I am trying to (on the homepage of the content site) add a Search Refiners Web Part that will filter the different columns of the document library and show results.

I have: 1.) Found my crawled properties for the columns, they showed up as ows_Column1, ows_Column2, etc and mapped them to Managed Properties. I named the MPs as Column1MP etc. 2.) When I create the refiner, the created MPs show up on the dropdown selection. 3.) I set up a search result webpart and connect it to the refiner webpart, but have no idea as to why nothing is showing up. I have selected several options and nothing is happening.

Any suggestions?

Edit "search result webpart" > click "Change query".

In "Query text" type path to your list/library

Path:"https://.../Lists/testList/" (contentclass:STS_ListItem OR IsDocument:True)

Check if your Managed Properties are (Query Retrieve Refine Sort Safe) like OOTB refinable managed properties.

  • It worked, but when I have no filters applied it shows documents from other SharePoint sites. How do I remove that?

    Did you set correct path in Query text > Path:"YOURSITE/YOURSUBSITE/Lists/testList" . When you set path to your library, search result will get only that library. In Query text you only need path to your library and (contentclass:STS_ListItem OR IsDocument:True)
