List of common SharePoint 2013 Result Source IDs

Although the new Result Source feature in SharePoint 2013 is really cool, writing queries against them is not.  With scopes you could specify them by name (i.e.: All Sites or People).  However with result sources, you must specify the id not the name.  This cane make it tricky to develop custom coded solutions.  Luckily, it turns out that the IDs of the built-in result sources are all the same (at least they appear to be) with the exception of the Conversations result source.  In comparing an on-premises installation of SharePoint 2013 with a SharePoint Online Preview tenant, here is the list I came up with.  Hopefully, it will save you some time when you need to write a query.

Of course this doesn’t help you much for your own custom result sources, but at least you should be able to work with this list for anything built-in.  This is especially useful if you want to write queries to do people search or get popular items.
