SharePoint search query refinement to return results where email exists - search

Is there way to filter SharePoint people search results to exclude results with no email using refinement filters? I have tried WorkEmail:string("#") but that does not work.

Power BI query to return same-name list results from multiple subsites

We have a SharePoint site that users will create item records as a new subsite with a template. On this template is a list, we'll call List A. There are 90+ of these subsites with the same 'List A' name.
On List A there is a "Status" field with the "Closed" choice. I am looking to make a report (preferably in Table/Excel form) that will query all the 'List A' lists that have a Status field set to 'Closed'.
I am looking at OData queries but I'm very new to Power BI. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
I would build a query based on one subsite example, using the built-in connector for a SharePoint Online List. I would apply the Status = Closed filter. Then I would replace the hard-coded Site with a Query Parameter.
Now you can right-click that Query and choose Create Function.
Next you need a Query that lists your 90+ subsites with their URL. There might be an OData query that can do this or you might need to maintain a manual list e.g. in Excel. Then you can add a Custom column that calls the Query Function (created above) and passes each subsite URL.
Expand that table-type Custom column and the result will be the filtered rows from all the subsites.

search term with hyphens are not searchable in sharepoint 2013

I have a search application which basically provides search services. Technically it uses SharePoint 2013 for search functionality and display the results using UI technologies. Here we have a Textbox a user can enter the search term, perform search and get the results from the SharePoint API. But the issue here his we are unable to do search the links that contains hyphens.
Example :
Scenario 1: when user texts this link in the textbox "https://cis.somedomain.com/about/pages/quality-and-risk-management.aspx" and perform search, they cannot get the search results from the SharePoint 2013.
Scenario 2 : when user texts this link in the textbox "https://cis.somedomain.com/rr/pages/assurance_sas.aspx" and perform search, they are able to get the results.
Problem : if the link contains hyphens search results are not appearing , but search results are appearing if the link contains uderscore.
Is this the limitation of the SharePoint ? do we have any configurable solution, Please help me out on this one. Thanks in advance.
To my knowledge sharepoint does not have such a limitation. If I understand you correctly, when a user performs a search for a page which has a hyphen in the URL, results do not show, however if a search is performed on a page with an underscore in the URL, the results are shown? Do you have any search result sources that could be affecting what results are shown based on the search text?

Sharepoint people search - sort alphabetically accross pages

I have a Sharepoint 2007 MOSS People Search webpart, used with a Paging webpart to display search results of people.
The people search webpart displays results alphabetically on each page. But the results are not sorted alphabetically across pages.
Does anyone know anyway to acheive an alphabetical sort of people results accross pages, by changing the XSLT for e.g?
Many Thanks,
Nav
Anything that works across pages has to be part of the search query, not the xsl. I think you only have relevance and social distance as sort options on the out of box search web parts, though it may be possible to get custom ordering using sql search syntax - possibly from the advanced search box.
