Pnpjs: sp.search not working in Communication Site

Created on 7 Sep 2018 · 4Comments · Source: pnp/pnpjs

Hi ,

I have a SPFx Webpart which is using sp.search method to get all the documents, which is working fine in classic site as well as in modern Team site.

Today, I added the same working Webpart to a communication site and no documents are being returned.

Version

@pnp/sp 1.2.1

I am just using npm module @pnp/sp and I initiated the spfxcontext. As said it is working in Team Sites the same is not working in Communication sites.

Am i missing anything here?

Thanks for your help advance :)

Heii Simon,

Thanks for your Reply. I could figure it out.

The "Properties" Attribute solved the Problem. In my case all the "Modern Team Sites" are private and within the team site and in central search could get results.

sp.search({
Querytext: this.queryText,
EnableSorting: true,
SelectProperties: this.selectedProperties,
RowLimit: 5000,
TrimDuplicates:false,
Properties:[
{
Name:"EnableDynamicGroups",
Value:{
BoolVal:true,
QueryPropertyValueTypeIndex:3
}
}
]
}).then((data: SearchResults) =>{});

Would you mind posting some code? If I understood you correctly you want to get all the documents via search?

I did the following in the SPEditor console (In a communicationsite), and it did work for me.

import { sp, SearchQuery, SearchResults } from "@pnp/sp";

sp.search("IsDocument:true").then((r: SearchResults) => {
    console.log(r.PrimarySearchResults);
});
