I still consider myself a 'rookie' in the SharePoint arena. I have a looooooong way to go to become a SPoint Gladiator ... but ALL of Dan's videos have been VERY helpful training videos. I only recently tripped across Academy 365 and have been binge watching ever since. It has been like getting a drink of water from a firehose. But they are so well done and presented that I just keep going (but I know I will circle back and watch many more times ... over and over). This video was pretty deep for me, but I NEVER would have found these features and techniques on my own. Thank you ... thank you ... thank you...
after adding the column videocategory to the site pages, how did you populate them with data, especially for existing pages that created and for new page, not seeing that when creating it also. please walk me through it
Please don't stop making these SharePoint Videos haha. These are absolutely brilliant! I'm currently looking at making an Intranet for work and these ideas are brilliant! Thank you so much!
Cheers! I really appreciate the encouragement! I am currently recording my next video so hit the aul bell icon to get notified! 😉 If you have any suggestions for anything you would like to see a video on, let me know!
Hey! The same concept should work for files. You might want to reference a specific document library and reference any specific library data you want to filter by. Was there anything specific you want more detail on?
Apologies if I missed this, but why was jaws returned when you typed in "shark"? That term didn't match your movie title or category. Obviously we know its related to sharks, but how did search know?
This brilliant. I've tried buildong a search hub to search for documents across multiple sites. I can get the results, whuch is a list of documents, but ehat i wantbis the ability to download them ALL at once from the search results page. Is there a eay to do this that you know of?

You make SharePoint so much fun, and improve the experience for people using the sites I work with. Each step is broken down into an easy to understand format. I love your tutorials.
Thanks a lot for such simplified steps.. I am unable to get 'q' as an option to achieve dynamic search results experience, even after making the URL change in the search settings.. pls help 😭
Hey! oh no, that's very frustrating! I'll double-check my settings, but I think I captured them all in the video. What options do you get in that field?
Great video Dan - really clear and easy to follow. I am trying to build a custom search that searches through SharePoint list items and was wondering whether the logic applied for Site Pages Library can also be applied for a SharePoint list? At 5:25 you mention that your site name must include "SitePages", but a SharePoint list doesn't have SitePages in the URL :/. What do you recommend?
Hey Amanda! I haven't experimented with list items with these web parts yet but I don't see why it couldn't work. You might have to tweak the result template though. My reference to 'SitePages' was just limiting the scope to that library. You would just swap this reference out for the list you want to focus on. I'll do some testing and come back with what I find (just getting the next video ready at the moment!)
Hello Dan. Thank you for making these videos. You make excellent content! In your case, the VideoCategory column was a choice column. Would this still work if you had used a Lookup Column or Managed Metadata column instead?
Hey JL, I think my video category column was a managed metadata column. But yes, this will work for choice and lookup. You should still find them in your crawled properties which you can then of course map to your managed properties. Happy SharePoint-ing 🤘
Hi, Yes this is possible. I fyou edit the filters web part and click the 'Edit' button under 'Customize filters, you will see a check box option to enable 'Multi Vales'. This is the setting you are looking for. Hope this helps! 😉
Thank you for laying out the pre-requisites for a beginner like myself. I now know what permissions I should ask for to get the customized results. Thanks again! Also - do NOT stop making these videos. I know only very basic things about SharePoint, but this type of information is the good stuff. Keep 'em coming!
Fantastic video, Dan! I've just started implementing PnP Modern Search myself so the timing couldnt be better. Madness that it isnt built in to SharePoint by default.
Hey Chris, great stuff hope this helps you! Yea, tell me about it. OOTB search is getting more flexible but a long way off PnP. Bets of luck with the implementation! P.s. love your profile image, creative thinking right there 😁
Hi Westcoast (did I interpret that right?), Unfortunately, no specific software. I screen record with Quicktime and capture video separately with a DSLR and then bring it all together in Premiere Pro with a touch of After Effects. It's a lengthy editing process for sure!
I followed your very clear description on mapping the crawled properties to managed properties (thank you!!) Sadly though when applying the search tool to a document library with docs and pics I seem to be strugling to get the content I want and I wonder if there are more attributs to address or features to explore that need to be changed. There are work arounds such as creating specific views and linking to them, or making lists instead of using the meta data. I believe you this falls under the category of we've only scratched the surface. . . @@Academy365-Dan
Hey Lucas! I'm afraid access to the admin centre (or access to somebody who does have access to it) is a must for this specific tutorial. A coffee and a conversation is generally a good start!
Hi Dan, As you probably know the PnP Modern search web parts can be installed on a Site Collection so perhaps the SharePoint admin access isn't necessary? The mapping can be done at the Site Collection level too 😊
Excellent tutorial, and much more fun to work through than the usual business content. Of course, I'm learning this to apply to the dry material at work, but I appreciate the change of pace. Thanks a bunch!
Hi Dan NIce video super helpful, I want to return the search result of people based on the skills they have and proposals they made or paper they published all this info saved in list or library , in this case how can i search from both
Hey! Sorry for the slow reply. I would need to know more to reply fully but from the sounds of things, you are storing all of this information within a list or library. Rather than complicated custom search, it might be more pragmatic to meet the requirements through a combination of metadata/views/page user experience. Feel free to contact me via my site (academy366.io) with more detail and we can chat 😁
Hey, not sure I understand the requirement to give you an accurate answer. If you head over to my site feel free to fill in the contact form with more info and I’ll let you know my thoughts. Thanks for the comment 😁
You are brilliant. I spent days looking for a working solution for custom search pages. Thank you so much and sharing your knowledge and putting in the effort to make these videos.
You're a superstar ⭐ Dan! Thanks so much! Easy to follow and super helpful. I used it as a document management system. I will definitely think of more use cases. 🙏 from Sweden
Dan, what i I'm in a document library and are searching? It seams like it then stays at the document library and show my search result from standard SharePoint.
Dan, I somehow got the 'Q' in queryParameters's properties instead of Mode but I might have changed something else and now I only have Mode again. What is it dependent of? What can't be changes somewhere else?
Hey! Ok, what might be happening is that the GUID of the mapped property may be being pulled through. Assuming you created the column as managed metadata you will need to tell the Search results web part to retrieve the managed metadata tag values. in the 'Selected properties' dropdown of the Search Results web part settings menu, look for items named 'owstaxId...' and select them all. One of these should be your list of values. Give that a shot and let me know if it makes a difference. Keep the faith, you've come so far! 😉

Do you have any content not yet released, or tips / advice regarding refining the PnP search tool specifically for documents in a document library?
