How to enrich a result source with a managed property?
- I don´t know any other way. Well, to be honest, you could develop a webjob/Azure function that once a day get all your user profiles, read the Manager property, and then update a custom UP property with the Full Name (then you mapped your search to this property). Obviously is much work.
The JavaScript path is not an easy one either, as you have to do an async call to the user profile REST API to get the Full name, and that´s not easy inside display templates. At the end of this post, a guy is sharing a piece of code that he says is doing the work, and renders a Lync presence card…

Hi,
not sure if I´m understanding. To extend the People results, you need a new User Profile property. That property can be just a plain string, or if you want a predefined set of values, you have to create a new TermSet (or re-use and existing one), and create the user profile property mapped to that TermSet (can´t be mapped to a SP List). Then, add some values to some user profiles, and wait for some time, as the search crawler needs to crawl the new data, and will create a new Crawled property (usually the name of the crawled property will be something like "People:NAME_YOUR_USER_PROFILE_PROPERTY"). You mapped the RefinableString111 to that People... crawled property, and then it should work in the Refiners panel. Ensure to add some values to some user profiles, otherwise the crawled property won´t be created.
Hope it helps.
Correct Luis, I was thinking the same direction. Addition to your answer: add the mapping of the crawled property to the RefinableString111 at tenant level. Mapping it at Site collection level won't work. User profiles live at tenant level, that's why. Otherwise you are waiting for a long time and don't see it working. :-).
