Issue with querying an indexed search solution

Question

I ran into an issue with my Exercise on creating a search solution. After indexing, querying the search with a select filter {"search": "London", "select": "url,sentiment,keyphrases", "filter": "metadata_author eq 'Reviewer' and sentiment eq 'positive'"} resulted in the error: "Invalid expression: Could not find a property named 'url' on type 'search.document'. Parameter name: $select". Consequently, the flask app returned the same error.

Hi Bogdan Teleuca,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. Please check the basic points as below (if you have not done so yet) to narrow down the issue. In most of the cases, these small mistakes may cause trouble.

• Ensure that the query syntax is correct.
• Field names are case-sensitive. Make sure the case matches exactly ('url' instead of 'URL' or 'Url').
• Ensure that the field 'url' exists in your search index. Double-check the field names and ensure they match exactly with the ones you specified in your query.
• Verify that the 'url' field is correctly mapped during indexing. If it’s not mapped, you won’t be able to select it in your query.
• Review your indexer configuration. Make sure that the source data (from your data source) contains the 'url' field.
• Confirm that the indexer is correctly set up to map the 'url' field from the source data to the corresponding field in the search index.
• Try querying with a simpler select filter to narrow down the issue
