Super quick blog post for you guys today.
As I dive a little deeper into SharePoint 2013 search and search navigation functionality (which is pretty cool by the way) I ran into a little bug in the Query Builder when trying to create a Search Result by Content Type.
In Office 365 (have not tested On Prem) if you create a Search Source, and launch the Query Builder, then proceed to create a Property filter where ContentType Equals a specific content type. The Query text generated is something like:
ContentType={content type id}
If you then click on the button to Test the query you will not get any results.
Hmmm… how can this be? I know I have some Tasks out there. The Query Builder created this Query text for me so it MUST be accurate? Right? I did couple of quick searches and failed to enter the magic keywords to get the result I needed. I would like to say that I played around until I figured it out, but I took the easy way out and asked to see if anyone else had seen this issue before. My friend Stephanie Donahue (@StephKDonahue) told me that I needed to change the Query text to one of the following:
ContentType={content type NAME}
or
ContentTypeId:{content type ID}
Testing the query again gives us the results we are looking for!
I may not have run into this issue had I started down the path of searching for a Content Type without using the Query Builder, In retrospect it makes sense why I was not getting results. However, if you are like me and expect that the tool is working and it’s YOU who made the mistake, hopefully this quick tip will get your past your hurdle and on your way to your next task for the day.
Cheers!

You should use spcontenttype instead of contenttype. Contenttype also includes the mime type and not just the name and may cause issues. Spcontentype only stores the name.
Excellent! Thanks very much for the tip Mikael!

Hi,
I have recentely started working with a customer that has an updated SharePoint environment from SP2010 to SP2013( Server Enterprine). In this environment whenever i try to use built in Query builder in Serach Results Web Part (or another search related web part) and hit test It keeps on showing loading image and shows nothing under Relevant Results. Although when i hit Apply, results display properly. I have try to debug this issue in IE that shows “Object doesn’t support property or method ‘set_timeZoneId'” for Search.Configuration.QueryBuilder.get_$9().get_dataProvider().set_timeZoneId(Search.Configuration.QueryBuilder.$0.TimeZoneId). There is nothing much helpful specific to this Issue.
Any help would be highly appriciated
