Highlighted content web part not filtering on refinablestrings
It's probably because the managed property needs to be 'searchable'. Refinablestrings aren't searchable and you can't edit them to be searchable. I had to create a new managed property from scratch and set it as 'searchable'.
Yes, I got this working. However, the interface behaves a bit confusingly and took me a couple of minutes to work out what was going on - so perhaps you're having the same issue?
When I type in the name of the managed property into the 'Find my managed property' field, no options pop-up/appear like I would expect. However the 'Managed Property Name' section expands below this field, and the first field is blank - if you expand it, this is where you will see the managed properties search results - hopefully the one you created will be there.
Other than that, I'm not sure what else could be going on in your situation.
- Hi Theresa, still don't see the option: but i did'nt have all the options 'Searchable, Queryable, Retrievable' checked. Just did, guess i'll have to wait for a few hours again. Thnx for responding! henk.
- In SharePoint Online, you should use the refinablestringxx managed properties and map to your indexed fields, use the alias to create a readable name. You need to first have content in the list and the fields you want to index to add them to the managed property. After you've added them, you need to then Reindex the library to force an update of the managed property, it still can take 24 hours to complete though. Searchable means it is part of a text query in search results, filterable is the key here.
Hi I also created a new Managed Property of "Text" type "Searchable, Queryable, Retrievable" and mapped it to a list column however I can not view it in "Managed property name" in Highlighted content webpart.
I created it yesterday evening and I dont think its time issue.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
- No, it isn't a time-issue for i still can't choose the new managed property after 2 days. Also: i made a new managed property, but am not able to edit this. Is this like it should work?
