Sharepoint Online Search - PnP-Js-Core

Question

I'm doing a SharePoint search and I need specifically select Title field, but, some times the result is the title of the document and not the Title field of the library or list

I'm using PnP-Js-Core

My code

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  let listName = encodeURIComponent(this.listName);
  let query: string = `contentclass:STS_ListItem OR IsDocument:True path:${this.siteUrl}/${listName}/ ${text}`;
  pnp.sp.search(<SearchQuery>{
    Querytext: query,
    SelectProperties: ['Title'],
  })
    .then((r: SearchResults) => {
      resolve(r.PrimarySearchResults);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.log(err);
      reject(null);
    });
});

Thanks.

The Title managed property is mapped, by default, to more than just the Title column in SharePoint and SharePoint Online. So, in your query for "Title", in addition to ows_Title, you are also getting values from Basic:displaytitle, TermTitle, MetadataExtractorTitle, and Title. If you want only your List or Library Item Title field you may want to configure your own queryable Managed Property and map it to ows_Title.
