Searching results for hyperlinks descriptions

[María José Pedreira]

Hi all,

I wonder if exists any way to search results contained in the description for an hyperlink field (yellow in the image).
With a default crawl I only get results for words cointained in the url field (http://...)

Thank you!

@Mikael Svenson any ideas?

@María José Pedreira it's indeed possible.

I did a small writeup of how at http://www.techmikael.com/2018/01/how-to-make-description-text-in-url.html

Basically the steps are:

• Use a site column for the URL field
• Map the crawled property ows_q_URLH_<column> to a searchable managed property of type string

Hope this helps, and thanks @Dean Gross for alerting me to this :)
