SharePoint Online - Why does IsDocument:1 contain .aspx pages?

Question

_{Monday, January 29, 2018 3:01 PM}

I am using a Search filter to get all documents on a SharePoint site, however I have noticed that IsDocument:1 returns aspx pages?

This looks to be by design but I don't understand why?

The isdocument managed property really only checks that the item being searched for is a file, which ASPX pages are.  You should be able to add an and clause to filter out the aspx files using the filetypeproperty.  Try this query text:

{searchboxquery}( isdocument:1 and  -FileType:aspx)
