Description and Keywords in Picture library not indexed? No search results
I went down the route of creating a new Managed Property mapped to the same ows_keyword crawled property (because Keyword managed property cannot be set to Searchable), but it seems now to work without that, maybe it was crawl waiting time thing.
Interestingly the Search box position seems to have changed and moved to the top, and return results from the library only
Hi,
The columns keywords and description are not "Searchable" by default.
This means you need to set the name of the column first.
Try something like this:
keywords: <value to search>
If you don't want to put the column property in the search box, you should go to the search shema, and set the column Managed Property has searchable.
If you need help with this, let me know 🙂
If you like to use a diferent layout to show description and keywords in the library check this link: https://devscopeninjas.azurewebsites.net/2019/12/19/tiles-view-formatting-thumbnail-along-with-description-and-keywords/?fbclid=IwAR08lNqX11bKJrlaYT7Qxzbev3JG_-y_0KqsLptRFu7AOBWCtR7K_UmkW7A
Valter Lima is it actually possible to make the existing "Description" field a searchable term? Or do you have to create a new managed field?
The list of default managed properties says "Description" is not a searchable field. Does that just mean it is not searchable by default but can be changed?
My image library is currently searchable by "Name" and "Keyword". But ideally, I'd like the description to also be searchable.
