SharePoint 2013 REST API Query Items with cross site lookup column

-
Recently, I had to query items using SharePoint 2013 Rest API (/api/web/lists/getbytitle('')/items).  The problem that makes it hard is that it has a lookup column (Product) that looks up the items in a list from another web.  The typical $filter statement (/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Pages')/items?$select=Title,Id&$filter=Product eq 1) doesn't work.

After searching online and a few trial/error, I got it working by using /_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Pages')/items?$select=Title,Id,ProductId&$filter=Product eq 1

The ProductId field is automatically added to the list by SharePoint when you have a lookup field.  You have to $select that ProductId and then you can filter the Product field.  It's weird but it works.

SharePoint 2013 - Working with Display Template for Content Search Web Part

-
Image
To create a custom display template, the best approach is to copy an existing one from Out-Of-Box display templates.  You can try each one and find the one that is closest to what you want to do. All the display templates are in the master page gallery.  To access it, Site Settings -> Master pages and page layouts -> Display Templates The Content Web Parts folder contains the display templates for content search web part and Search folder contains the display templates for the search results web parts. The easiest way to take a look at the display templates is to open the list in windows explorer.  On the ribbon, click on Open with Explorer option. You'll see a lot of html and js files in Content Web Parts folder.  The HTML files are the ones that you'll need to take a look.  The .js files are auto-generated when you add a new HTML file or update an existing one. For every content search web part, you usually have to specify two display tem...

I was looking for how to add custom spell check dictionary in SharePoint 2013 and I found this blog that describes it, http://softlanding.ca/blog/adding-words-to-the-sharepoint-spell-checker-dictionary-(sharepoint-2013-2010). Here is the summary steps in case the above link doesn't work any more.
