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.
Thanks for the reply Bart. In my customer’s case the logs seemed to show that it is being indexed as the “Category” crawled property but I havent been successful setting it up as a refiner yet, I will let yo uknow if I make progress.
