In a SharePoint 2013 publishing site, I have a custom search page.

This page can be reach from the search box in the master page. It lands on : http://server/pages/search.aspx?k=myquery, which is expected.

In this page, I have a search zone, and a result webpart. If I type a new search from this page, I land on: http://server/pages/search.aspx?k=myquery#k=mynewquery.

Is there any way to get the current query from a javascript code?

Actually, I have a custom webpart that requires to get this query. My current webpart (inherited from SP2010) relies on the query string from C# code, but this does not work with SP 2013 due to this new pure ajax page update.

Thanks for advise.

PS: my alternative would be to parse the url (looking for the k query string first after the #, then in the url query).

  • Are you saying that the Query String for "k" is not returning "mynewquery"? Commented Sep 13, 2014 at 13:30
  • @MatthewMcDermott: yes, the query string still contains myquery Commented Sep 15, 2014 at 8:26

You can get the Search Query Val by Using Search OOB Object.

Srch.ScriptApplicationManager.get_current().queryGroups['Default'].dataProvider.get_currentQueryState().k

Using self parsing code, I can find my query using :

// In a global utility.js file (function () { window.UrlQuery = window.UrlQuery || (function () { var result = { hash: {}, query: {} }; var query = window.location.search.substring(1); var vars = query.split("&"); for (var i = 0; i < vars.length; i++) { var pair = vars[i].split("="); result.query[pair[0]] = pair[1]; } var hash = window.location.hash.substring(1); var hashVars = hash.split("&"); for (var i = 0; i < hashVars.length; i++) { var pair = hashVars[i].split("="); if (pair.length > 1) { result.hash[pair[0]] = pair[1]; } } return result; })(); })();

And when I need to get the query :

 var kQuery = window.UrlQuery.hash.k || window.UrlQuery.query.k || null; var rQuery = window.UrlQuery.hash.r || window.UrlQuery.query.r || null;
