Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot run. - SharePoint 2013

Today while trying to publish the workflow, came across the weird error
"Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot run."

After digging into it, came to the solution that need to  Re-register service into my site using following commands:
Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite 'https://my-host/mysite' -WorkflowHostUri 'https://workflowhost' -AllowOAuthHttp -Force

I reopened SharePoint Designer again and problem disappeared.

Hope this will save your time.

Search Query by ContentType name issue

I ran into very weird issue in SharePoint Search while querying the items using ContentType name. Query: ContentType={content type NAME} This was giving me the result of content type, however some extra data/results where coming along in the result. There was no clue what is failing there. Spent few hours and got very useful tip from Search Guru,  MIKAEL SVENSON   that not to use ContentType but to replace that with  SPContentType. Modified Query: SPContentType={content type NAME} Learning: We should use SPContentType instead of ContentType. As Contenttype also includes the mime type and not just the name and may cause issues. SPContentType only stores the name. I hope this small piece of information will save your time!

There was a requirement to filter the search result based on QueryString present in url, and if no QueryString present then should populate all the results. Issue was simple to resolve if every time there is QueryString present, then below Query will do the job. Below filtering the result by checking managed metadata property equals the query string value. Above query was filtering the result based on QueryString given in URL. However it fails if there is no QueryString present in url.  "No result found" message appear. Ideally should populate all the results. And filter should be optional in query for this scenario. So I need to modify the query and to add some condition like, if QueryString present then check managed metadata property equals the query string value, else no. To achieve this, there is syntax  {searchboxquery} {? <some KQL expression> } , If MyParameter querystring is not present in URL,  then just first part of KQL query will e
