How can I find Crawled Properties?
We have many sites with numerous document libraries. Many document libraries contain a "Color" choice column. If I want to make one of these many "Color" columns a Managed Property in Search Center, how do I do this? How do I find out from the crawled properties in Search Center that the Color column is from site X? In the properties of the crawled property, I see a Property Set ID. Can I use this to find the assignment to the column whose library it belongs to? If I have multiple columns named "Color", will it become just one crawled property?

Hi ulmoshare
all the same color - columns are available under one crawled property, you can't tell the difference between them.
Best practice:
- Create columns as site columns for different libraries in one site or in a content type hub to use the same column in different sites
- Use a column naming like <site><column>, as example for an HR Site... HRColor . With this namings you can identify columns per site
