Has anyone had any success setting the ESP Result List Web Part so that the results are filtered based on a Index Field property. For example, I would like to create an SharePoint Web Part based search interface such that results are only from a specific document library, SharePoint Site, or Content Type.

The only way I've been able to do this so far is by creating a Search Profile in the FAST SBC and then setting the Result List Web Part to the Search View that is associated with it.

For example, in the Search Profile method we use the following expression in the Filter Terms setting located in SBC-->Search Profile Settings-->Query Handling



such that the Search Profile returns results only from the Finance Site.

I'd rather not do this all the time as the Query Statistics are then spread out across different Search Profiles.

Can I do something like this in one of the settings of the FAST ESP Web Part? I've tried using the Static Query Properties Setting but have had no luck affecting any search behavior with it.

To all those interested, I received a solution from the MS/FAST ESP Partner community message board



I think the above proposed changes to the Search Config/Search Result Web Part seem reasonable. When I get some time to work on this, I will post back.
