Hi all,
I have created a farm solution (for SP 2013 on prom) in Visual Studio 2012 (with whole bunch of site columns, content types, lists, libraries … – all declarative with element.xml files) and deployed to my client’s environment. Everything looks Ok, however, the Crawled & Managed properties related to my custom site columns are not generate as part of crawling the content! The search service is created, the site is fully crawled, and also there are enough content in the site to trigger the crawler to generate the managed properties. However, for some weird reasons, the Crawled & Managed properties aren’t being fully generated!! (Some site columns do have both managed property and crawled property, but not all of them!)
Anyone had the same/similar issue before? Appreciate any help or suggestions. J
Cheers,
Thanks all for the help, greatly appreciate it. I changed my approach, and instead of defining the site columns declaratively, I used PowerShell to create the site columns & content types. According to the below link apparently SP Search Crawl doesn’t generate the properties for site columns which are created declaratively. http://radutut.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/managed-properties-in-sharepoint-2013/
