Hi all,

Working with SharePoint 2013 on prem and trying to show all subsites for the current site. Using 2 webparts, one with the search box and the other with the search results (connected).
I've set the search results to use the search box's text to get the following query:

contentclass:STS_Web SPSiteURL:{SiteCollection.URL}  {SearchBoxQuery}*

Hence, I only want subsites to show up for this site collection and in addition use the SearchBoxQuery to filter them.

Now, this works fine for most incomplete words like "inform" or "inf", resulting in only the subsites. But when I search for "info" or "informatiebeheer" - terms that match more than only the subsites, I get promoted results (bracket on the left - see picture below). I also get the subsites, but I have to get past the "PowerPoint presentation" results or "People" results. I don't want to see them.

      

I have configured the Search Results web part as follows:

50 results per page
Show: Ranked Results, Number of results, Paging
Do NOT show (i.e. all unchecked): Promoted Results, "Did you mean?", Personal favorites, "View duplicates", "Search navigation menu", "Advanced", "Language dropdown", "Sort dropdown", "Preferences", "Alert me".

I don't expect any promoted result blocks, but I still get them sometimes. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Rebecca,

Thank you for your reply. It's getting clear to me now.
I've investigated all query rules and I see that several are applied to Result Source "Local SharePoint Results".

I see the people and powerpoint result blocks being added there.
I'm going to create a simple result source to only contain the results I need (subsites) without the extra blocks.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
