SharePoint online search filters - search

In the search in SharePoint online modern experience I would like to add some filters to the people tab similar to how there are filters on the Files tab.
My People tab looks like this.
How can I modify the People search tab to add filters? For example I would like to add a Company filter with a list of companies.

Per my knowledge, there is no option to customize SharePoint modern search.
Modifying the People search tab to add filters is not available.

Basic Search Question - Searching a list and applying a filter

I have a custom list of a few thousand names of people and a few columns.
For example: FirstName, LastLast and Yes/No Column called Active.
What i am hoping to create is a custom view that by default shows no items in the columns, with a simple search box above that where someone could search for a LastName, and when they click search have the view populate with results that contain the given LastName + Only Active = Yes. I want to avoid having to teach users to use the filter option after they search.
In SharePoint 2013, are there out of the box web parts that i can add to a blank web part page or list view that can achieve this? If so, can you step me through that? Thanks!
Mike
There are several ways to approach customized search results in SharePoint.
It sounds like you most likely need to use the Content Search Web Part. The content Search Web Part allows you to append custom query text to a user's search phrase and to target specific scopes for your search. Please see this step-by-step guide to configuring this web part to search only a single list.

I searched a lot on the web for my answer but could not find any one. I have an list with invoice and aircraft price list. The lookup works perfect i can select the aircraft type through the invoice list. I also want to be able to select if its a Platform or Hangar price. Can someone help me how i can achieve this?
Here are some screenshots
It looks like you are attempting some form of cascading drop down fields. These are supported in 2010 Enterprise edition but via the use of info path forms. This requires no code just some GUI based configuration. Unfortunately it's a little more in depth than me explaining it on here so I will provide you to a link for a blog.
Cascading drop down info path forms
Alternatively if you google around cascading drop downs there are plenty of articles involving other methods.

WorkAround create a look up column

I want to create a Look up column to bring the data of a column "Person/Group" in other library but I canĀ“t.
I found some solutions to this inconvenient, for example:
https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/56745/is-it-possible-to-make-a-lookup-column-that-looks-up-person-or-group-type-from
But, I can't use them because the politics of the company I'm working, forbade me to code in Sharepoint or even use Sharepoint Designer.
So... is there a workaround this problem, maybe working with InfoPath or something?
Thanks in advance
Why not use the list settings graphical user interface of SharePoint?
Have a look at
Sharepoint: Calculated column based on another list
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShLH0mBcA54
== Update after some discussions ==
Lookup columns can only be linked to other lists and the only built-in list that contains any users is the hidden User Information List. This list you can link to, to do it any other way you must create your own list with users

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.

Sharepoint : Is there a webpart filter that supports wildcards?

I have a document library with a custom column named "compound" which is just text.
I want to put a filter (input text box) on that document library page so the view shows only the items where the compound column contains my typed-in text. Optimally, wildcards such as * or ? or full regular expressions could be supported... but for now, I just need a "contains".
The out-of-the-box text filter seems to only support an exact match.
The result output would be identical to what I would see if I created a new view, and added a filter with a "contains" clause.
Third party solutions are acceptable.
KWizCom has a filter web part that looks like it might do what you want:
KWizCom SharePoint List Filter Plus
Another option to try is using a SharePoint Designer Data View Web Part. I believe you can write the filter with a "contains" from SPD.
I know you can set up this kind of filter more easily if you add the normal List View to a page, and the edit it with SharePoint Designer. In SPD, you can set up a "begins with" filter. Here's a discussion where someone suggested the same thing.
