SharePoint 2013 Search Results Trim Duplicates

Question

I have added a search results webpart which returns only a subset of documents. I have around 15 documents but search is only returning 7. I noticed the missing document have similar content with few modifications.

I came across this article which mentions about the Trim Duplicates attribute. Does anyone know if this issue is fixed in the Latest service packs. I have April 2015 CU.

Answer 1

Just open the web part and Edit the Query. On the Settings tab there is an option to disable duplicate trimming. No need to export the web part.

Answer 2

Hopefull this helps you,

This was answered on another site, this is what we did as well and it worked

This was driving me insane for days as well, and I finally found a solution. What I did was:

Add a standard search result webpart to a page Export the webpart and save it on disk Edit the *.webpart file that was exported in notepad Look for the text: "TrimDuplicates":true Change it to: "TrimDuplicates":false Save the file and and import it as a new webpart

Sorry, I cant answer the part about the service pack updating this, I dont think it will be fixed as this is probably by design...
