Thanks for replying Juan.
We thought so...Is there somewhere to specifically create managed properties or are they created from the custom columns? Please forgive my lack of knowledge here.
When we added custom columns to a document library they appeared in the managed properties. We followed the exact same process with custom columns for pages with nothing appearing in the selector.
This is the process we followed:
1. Create custom Content Type that inherits from Site Pages.
2. Add all custom columns as Site Columns.
3. Add the Content Type to the Site Pages library and make it the default.
4. After adding new pages, update the page metadata using Quick Edit or the information panel on each page.
