Issue with Filtering Search Results by Domain in PnP Modern Search Web Part

[Fady-Mikhael]

Hello,
I am working on a project using the PnP Modern Search Web Part with Microsoft Graph to query user information. My goal is to filter the search results to only show users with email addresses from a specific domain (e.g., @mycompany.com). I am using version 4.8.0 of the Web Part.

Problem:
Despite applying a filter in the queryTemplate configuration of the PnP Search Web Part, the results still include users with email addresses from other domains (e.g., gmail.com, example.com), in addition to those from the specified domain.
The queryTemplate contains the filter resource.userPrincipalName:*@mycompany.com, but results from other domains continue to appear.

Steps Taken:
I tried removing the queryString to see if that would allow the userPrincipalName filter to be applied properly, but the issue persists.
I manually filtered the results client-side using a conditional check (if statement) on userPrincipalName, and it works as expected. However, the goal is to have the filtering done via the query to avoid manual filtering post-query.
I would prefer that the filtering happens at the query level through Microsoft Graph so that the results returned are already filtered by domain.

Environment:
PnP Search Version: 4.8.0
API: Microsoft Graph (Beta)

Question:
How can I ensure that the userPrincipalName filter is properly applied to exclude users from other domains? Could this be related to how the queryTemplate and queryString interact, or is it a bug with the Web Part? The manual filtering works, but I'd like to achieve the desired behavior directly through the query.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

As per the Q&A section in the documentation , https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/QnA/ we recommend using SharePoint search where possible, and especially for People search as Microsoft search just isn't at par yet. As per making sure the query only returns your specific domain, please see https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/scenarios/Create-a-useful-People-Search/

Any update on the issue? I’ve already upgraded to version 4.13, but the problem with filtering by domain still persists. Could it be an issue with certain fields that PnP Search cannot filter using the query?
