Refiners in SP 2013 for Managed metadata fields, shows the unique GUID!

Question

The question is very simple Documents on this site have managed metadata fields, and I have selected the refiners for this on the search refiner webpart on the search results page.

However I see the ID after the text value. How can I prevent that? not very user friendly

Answer 1

Use the managed property called

ows_YourFieldName

not

ows_taxidYourFieldName

The taxid one will include the GUID, unwanted for Refiners. This is my experience at least.

Found another post stating the same here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/forefront/en-US/99f06b1a-59ca-43ab-bc13-d5d8deb7841f/managed-metadata-search-refiners-show-as-guids?forum=sharepointsearch
