Hello everyone, today we will discuss about how to create document search result type used to search documents from specific Document library.

{?{searchTerms} Path: “full path of library” }
Example: {?{searchTerms} Path:”https://abc.sharepoint.com/Search%20Documents%20Library/” }
? – is use to avoid result on page load.
For multiple document or list write below query.
