Hello,
I’m currently doing a migration from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 (on-prem) for a client. They indexed a fileshare where they have thousands of documents, all categorized using the “Categories” property for the Office documents.
The “Office:2” crawled property (the one with GUID “d5cdd502-2e9c-101b-9397-08002b2cf9ae”) should contain this property.
So, I created a managed property and mapped it to this “Office:2” crawled property.
I set following options:
– Searchable
– Queryable
– Retrievable
– Allow multiple values (also tried it without multiple values)
– Refinable: Yes (Active)
– Not sortable
– Safe for Anonymous
– Token Normalization
After the creation of the managed property, I kicked off a full crawl.
I added a refiner to my search results page, added the managed property. But I get no results. The refiner does not pop up.
When I modify my managed property and add the other “Office:2” crawled property (which is the document Title), save it, kick off a full crawl and issue a new search query, the refiner pops up with the document title as a value.. but NO category.
The same thing happens with the “Tags” property.
I was able to produce this in 2 complete different SharePoint 2013 environments. Is anyone having the same issue with this property? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
In SP2010, this mapping works! So, this is actually blocking an upgrade for now.
Hi Bart, did you ever get this sorted? I am trying to do a similar thing – index thousands of Word documents on a file system and set refiners based on the “Categories” field of the document.
Thanks,
Rhys
