Search Query by ContentType name issue

I ran into very weird issue in SharePoint Search while querying the items using ContentType name.

Query: ContentType={content type NAME}

This was giving me the result of content type, however some extra data/results where coming along in the result. There was no clue what is failing there.

Spent few hours and got very useful tip from Search Guru, MIKAEL SVENSON  that not to use ContentType but to replace that with SPContentType.


 Modified Query: SPContentType={content type NAME}

Learning: We should use SPContentType instead of ContentType. As Contenttype also includes the mime type and not just the name and may cause issues. SPContentType only stores the name.

I hope this small piece of information will save your time!

Below filtering the result by checking managed metadata property equals the query string value. Above query was filtering the result based on QueryString given in URL. However it fails if there is no QueryString present in url.  "No result found" message appear. Ideally should populate all the results. And filter should be optional in query for this scenario.
