I'm creating a new ClientContext:

ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(targetUrl);

When trying to do a simple search:

KeywordQuery keywordQuery = new KeywordQuery(clientContext); keywordQuery.QueryText = "test"; SearchExecutor searchExecutor = new SearchExecutor(clientContext); var results = searchExecutor.ExecuteQuery(keywordQuery); context.ExecuteQuery();

The results are returned, but only for the site from the targetUrl used in the context. Is there any way to return results across all sites using .Net CSOM Search?

I needed to add <AppPermissionRequest Scope=”http://sharepoint/search” Right=”QueryAsUserIgnoreAppPrincipal” /> to appmanifest.xml to query against the farm. Without setting this permissions, search will only return results from the site the app is installed on.

You could tweak the query text by introducing ContentClass managed property, to retrieve results across all the sites:

keywordQuery.QueryText = "contentclass=\"STS_Web\" AND contentclass=\"STS_Site\"";

    Thank you for the answer, but, I might have misspoke. I'm not trying to get all sites, I'm trying to search across all sites Commented Jun 27, 2014 at 12:18
  • Sorry, I meant to search across all sites but I missed out on some words. See my updated response. The query will you results across all sites. Commented Jun 27, 2014 at 20:26
