Good day,
I have CustomSearch webpart and Custom Search Sesults Page.
To get Search Results I use Managed Property DocTitleISM. This is the search parameter.
Type “Text”
Mapping to crawling properties ows_BaseName, ows_Title, Title, TermTitle, MetadataExtractorTitle, Office:2, MailSubject, People:PreferredName, Basic:displaytitle, Basic:10, Basic:9, ows_Title0, ows_FileLeafRef.
The search parameter values DocTitleISM can look like

  1. STO KGP 8841271.UIT.5.09.43-2019
  2. PR ISM 3.10.4.1-2020
  3. STO PR 8841271.3.10.12-2019
  4. etc.
    I set some value to my search web part field. Then pressed “Search”
    My search query url looks like
    http://<MySite>/SitePages/customSearchPage.aspx?k=DocTitleISM%3A”STO KGP 8841271.UIT.5.09.43-2019”
    I get results. Ok.
    But for query url
    http://<MySite>/SitePages/customSearchPage.aspx?k=DocTitleISM%3A”PR ISM 3.10.4.1-2020”
    http://<MySite>/SitePages/customSearchPage.aspx?k=DocTitleISM%3A”STO PR 8841271.3.10.12-2019”
    I get no results, but these items exist. This is the problem.
    If I change search query url manually and delete quotation marks after DocTitleISM%3A, I always get results.
    This queries without “” work fine
    http://<MySite>/SitePages/customSearchPage.aspx?k=DocTitleISM%3ASTO KGP 8841271.UIT.5.09.43-2019
    http://<MySite>/SitePages/customSearchPage.aspx?k=DocTitleISM%3APR ISM 3.10.4.1-2020
    http://<MySite>/SitePages/customSearchPage.aspx?k=DocTitleISM%3ASTO PR 8841271.3.10.12-2019
    I must send the search query with DocTitleISM parameter without quotation marks to get results for all parameter values.
    How can I change search query after “Search” clicking to get search query url parameter without quotation marks?
    Send my webPart file.
    Would be grateful for any help.20564-ismadvancedsearchquestion.txt

    Hi SevilRed-0007,

    I imported your custom web part and tested it in my SPO site. However it works well and the query url does not have quotations.

    20685-test.gif

    I have mapped the mentioned crawling properties to DocTitleISM:

    20785-image.png

    Here the query url is ".../osssearchresults.aspx?k=DocTitleISM%3APRISM3.10.4.1-2020", it does not have quotations. What i changed is the result page, since i do not have 'customSearchPage.aspx', i change it to the orginal search result page (osssearchresults.aspx). Is this quotation mark bringed from the custom page?

    Best Regards,
    Baker Kong
