The Search Display Templates are not present on this Site Collection

1 Comment

While configuring some Search Result Sources for a client, I had the following error when trying to build my query.

“The Search display templates are not present on this site collection. To add them, you need to activate the “Search Server Web Parts and Templates” feature on the Site Collection Features page.

Display Error: The display template had an error. You can correct it by fixing the template or by changing the display template used in either the Web Part properties or Result Types.

Template ‘~sitecollection/_Catalogs/masterpage/DisplayTemplates/System/Control_QueryBuilderPreview.js’ not found or has sytax errors. (Load Template: ) ”

Search Display Templates are not present on this Site Collection

After looking at what was missing, me and my colleague Joseph Henry Passineau found that in fact there was a feature missing on the Central Administration site collection. The feature is called Search WebParts. So, to fix the problem, simply run the following command in an elevated SharePoint Management Shell:

Enable-SPFeature SearchWebParts -url http://<central admin url>

Afterwards, re open the “build your query” page, and everything should work properly!
