Hi Community,
We are on O365 and have a search/ index issue or perhaps it just is not possible?
My goal: find values in (classic) search site that are entered in Site Columns (single line of text)
- We use a content type hub, the site columns are created here and inserted in a content type
- The site columns are single line of text
- The site columns/crawled properties (ows_columnname) are mapped to existing refinablestring00, refinablestring01 etc. I have not created managed properties but used the existing ones. Mapping has been done in the SP admin portal (I have the SP admin role)
- crawled properties have checked the option "include in full text index"
- Have created a site, content types are distributed to the sites
- Have uploaded test content (Word/ PDF files) and filled the site columns with values
- In the search site: added the site columns as refinement property
- When searching on the test file name I can find the files
- When searching on values that exist in the columns I find nothing
- When searching specific on the site column names I find the values ("refinablestring08: chili" for example finds the document)
- I have re-indexed the library, the same with the site to be sure.
- We use a default search site, no extra search scopes are created
- It is a new O365 environment, until now we just have two sites in use.
I do not understand why I can't find results if I search on values in the columns but if I search specific on the columnname I can find the values.
Do you have a suggestion if I am doing something wrong? At this point I do not know how to solve this? Only thing I am thinking if a column of the type single linke of text is the way to use?
Thank you for your help!
Kind regards,
Juan
