By default, the Refinement Web Part is used on all search vertical pages (results.aspx, peopleresults.aspx, conversationresults.aspx, videoresults.aspx). The Web Part filters search results from a Search Results Web Part into categories to help users narrow search results to help them find what they are looking for. By changing properties in the Refinement Web Part you can do the following:

  • Specify a different Search Results Web Part from which to filter search results.

  • Specify which refiners to show in the Web Part.

  • Change the display template that is applied to each refiner.

Before you begin these procedures, verify the following:

  • The managed properties that you want to use as refiners are set to refinable and queryable in the search schema. You can verify or change this by viewing or editing the Main characteristics of the managed property as described in To add a managed property.

  • You have done a full crawl of the content source that contains the managed properties that are enabled as refiners as described in Start, pause, resume, or stop a crawl in SharePoint Server.

  9. In the Configuration for section, configure how you want each refiner to appear.

    Note

    If you have a single language site, you can change the refiner display name in the Display name section. For multilingual sites, you have to change the refiner display language as described in Change the refiner display name.

Change the refiner display name

By default, the name of the managed property that is enabled as a refiner will be used as display name for the refiner. In many cases, the managed property name is not user-friendly — for example, RefinableString00 or ColorOWSTEXT. You can change the display name of the refiner by changing a java script file in the master page gallery.

To change the refiner display name

  1. Verify that the user account that performs this procedure is a member of the Designers SharePoint group on the Enterprise Search Center site.

  2. On the Settings menu, click Site Settings.

  3. On the Site Settings page, in the Web Designer Galleries section, click Master pages and page layouts.

  4. On the Master Page Gallery page, click Display Templates.

  5. On the Display Templates page, click Language Files.

  6. On the Language Files page, click the folder that contains the language for which you want to change the refiner display name.

  7. Open the CustomStrings.js file.

  8. Add one line to the file for each managed property that is enabled as a refiner for which you want to change the display name by using the following syntax:

    "rf_RefinementTitle_ManagedPropertyName": "Sample Refinement Title for ManagedPropertyName"

    For example, you can add the following line to change the display name for the managed property RefinableInt00 to Price:

    "rf_RefinementTitle_RefinableInt00": "Price".

Add refiner counts to the Refinement Web Part

By default, the Refiner Web Part will not show refiner counts — that is, the number of items for each refiner value. For example, if you have enabled the managed property Color as a refiner, the refiner values will only show colors such as Red, Green, and Blue. You can add refiner counts by changing a value in an HTML file so that the refiner values are shown as Red (10), Green (12), and Blue (8).
