People Search and User Profiles SP 2016

Question

Tell me why this code does not work in SharePoint server 2016 on-premises, but is working 2013? Possible problem in another sourceId("B09A7990-05EA-4AF9-81EF-EDFAB16C4E31")???

Answer 1

keywordQuery.set_sourceId(“result source id”): Sets the identifier (ID) of the result source to be used to run the query.

Every result source has a different source ID in every site level result sources or in different environments.

You can create a result source or use the result source if already created at the location below:

https://siteurl/_layouts/15/manageresultsources.aspx?level=site

Click on the result source and you will get the sourceid parameter in the URL. Use this source id in set_sourceId() method.
