I've created a page that shows documents that are pending approval from different sites(content approval in libraries).

I configured a managed property RefinableString01 and RefinableInt01 and mapped it to the crawled property ows__ModerationStatus.

In the search page, I tried using RefinableString01:'0', RefinableInt01:0 etc. This query doesn't work consistently.

It brings documents that are pending approval from various sites, but it also sometimes keeps showing documents that are in approved state!

Initially I thought its just due to the delay in Crawling but this keeps happening and even after waiting for 24-48 hours and re-indexing the library and site, few approved document keeps showing up.

Can we use the crawled property ows__ModerationStatus and _ModerationStatus and use them in queries by mapping to mapped properties? or is it not possible to show documents that are pending approval in SharePoint online

After you map RefinableInt01 to the crawled property ows__ModerationStatus, you may need to go to site settings > Search and offline availability > Reindex Site, and go to related library > library settings > Advanced settings > Reindex Document library

What's more, per my test, if we want to search for pending approval files, we need to use RefinableInt01:2

Here is my test result
