I am able to define filters inside my "PnP - Search Filters" using managed properties which are not defined as Refinable inside the Search Schema

I added the PnP Modern Search web part from this link @ https://github.com/microsoft-search/pnp-modern-search/releases . and inside the "PnP - Search Filters" i defined 2 managed properties (AuthorOWS + CreatedBY), as follow:-

And i were able to filter my "PnP search Result" web part based on these 2 fields, as follow:-

Now i thought that this will not work, as inside our SharePoint Admin Center >> Search Schema >> Managed Properties >> both managed properties (AuthorOWS + CreatedBY) have their Refinable property as No, as follow:-

So my question is, how i were able to filter using 2 managed properties which are not Refinable?

Thanks

    Hi @john john ,

    As per my test, the managed properties which are not refinable works well in my PnP search filter web part. So what's wrong exactly with them in your scenario? Did you connect the PnP search filter web part to the search result web part correctly?
