      This will take you to the SharePoint’s default search results page.

        For a reference to the refiners’ names, use the spreadsheet that you earlier created and sort them in the order they should be presented, as defined in the spreadsheet.
        If you add more than 10 refiners, you will get a warning that it might decrease search performance. It is however quite safe to add more than 10, but not more than 20, which is the maximum number of refiners.
