SharePoint 2010: Additional default search crawled property on User Profile Search
-

Question
I have used the following article to add an additional crawled propert to SharePoint 2010 user profile search. http://www.sharepointsteve.com/2010/10/making-custom-user-profile-properties-searchable-in-sharepoint-2010/
The crawled property is called NickName. This is setup, configured and searchable!
If i search using the following criteria "Nickname:Jon" i successfully return my user record as i have the nickname Jon populated. However if i just search "Jon" i get no results returned.
I have looked at the configuration for the Search Service, User Profile and for the search webparts but am unable to get this working.
Solution
Not sure, it makes any difference but a detailed thread from someone who faced similar issue. The person seemed to have contacted MS Support as well, so you'll see a lot many updates. Here's the article.
