SharePoint Search Results Limit People results to only 5 + Show Other items (docs, sites etc)

Question

Can you please help me in formulating a KQL or FQL query?

Retrieve only 5 people results from the below query. Rest of the items can be anything from the index of the SharePoint Search Service.

{?{searchTerms} ContentClass=urn:content-class:SPSPeople TOP 5}

Here Top 5 refers only to People results.

Example - If a page has total 20 items (max items per page), I need to display 5 people results + 15 other items like docs, folders, links, sites only in the first page (Similar to SP Online OOTB Search Page ALL Tab)

Answer 1

Hi @R, Naveen ,

You could try to use "OR" PHRASE: or(term, term [,term]*). For example: {?{searchTerms} ContentClass=urn:content-class:SPSPeople TOP 5} {?OR (({searchTerms}) contentclass:STS_List_DocumentLibrary AND Path:site url)}

For Reference: Mix two Result Sources in Search Results Web Part

Answer 2

@CaseyYang-MSFT,

Now I am trying to achieve this using Search API.

/_api/search/query?querytext='Query-Text'&sourceid='B09A7990-05EA-4AF9-81EF-EDFAB16C4E31'&rowlimit=5&sortlist='Rank:descending'

Where sourceid='B09A7990-05EA-4AF9-81EF-EDFAB16C4E31' corresponds to People Result Source ID

But, the sort on Rank is not working. How do we sort by Default Ranking Model? Can you please help here.
