How to Display a List of Result Sources and

Question

I know how to create a result source and I can add this as a search vertical to a search center. But my client wants something else.

Specifically, Customer Service wants to be able to go to their team site and see a list of links that are predefined searches. Then clicking on any such link would give them a list of documents defined by those searches.

As I said, I can define the search but I am not sure how to display a list of links to those searches (besides using search verticals). But I could have 15 or 20 of these predefined searches and that does not seem like a good use of search verticals.

What is the best practice to help my client achieve what they envision?

Just use a standard links list from SharePoint. Add link items to the list in the same URL format that you see on the search Results page. Like https://sharepoint/search/pages/results.apsx?k=keyword
