Office 365 People Search:Hide default result



Out of the box, People search result webpart shows the list of people as a result.

However, I had a requirement to remove the default people search coming in result webpart when page loads.

with the default query :
- {searchboxquery}contentclass=spspeople -accountname:rapidcircle.in


Spent few hours to find the solution finally got this useful tip from my Search guru MIKAEL SVENSON

To remove the default result need to bind the query with {?<query>}

the {?{searchboxquery}} will remove everything in the query if the {searchboxquery} variable is empty

Hope this small piece of information will save your time.

Image
Problem: I have created root site in SharePoint Online, weird problem I started facing is being a site administrator I was not able to customize the page/ upload the any page or master page. As in image below, for some reason I am set as Deny to "Add and Customize Pages". The problem is related to 'Scripting Capabilities' being turned off by default for the root site collection in Office 365. I found some article on community: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Turn-scripting-capabilities-on-or-off-1f2c515f-5d7e-448a-9fd7-835da935584f?ui=en-US&=amp&rs=en-US&ad=US It mentions that turning on scripting through the Sharepoint Admin Settings and wait around 24 hours. However, this did not work for me. still the issue was there. Following lines of script did a trick. Solution: Connect-SPOService -Url https://<yoursitename>-admin.sharepoint.com -credential <admincredentials> Set-SPOsite https://<your root site ur...
