Managed property after full crawl is still empty

Question

I have created a new managed property which maps to a crawled property in Search schema config.

I then carried out a full crawl and checked that the item in the list has been crawled which I can see.

Now in the Content Search Query WebPart, I then map the managed property to the field in the WebPart. However it is empty. Is there something I am missing to make this work?

Answer 1

Make sure you have mapped the correct crawl property of the list column, like ows_InternalColumnName.

Make sure the managed property is Retrievable.

Reindex the list and start a full crawl, then check if the results display.

1. In the List ribbon choose List Settings.

2. On the Settings page, under General Settings, choose Advanced settings.

3. Scroll down to Reindex Document Library or Reindex List, and click the button.

Answer 2

Make sure you have mapped the correct crawl property of the list column, like ows_InternalColumnName and is retrievable.

Reset the index at Central admin level. Navigate to Content Source -> Change URL to some dummy URL( This resets index in no time)

Once done, start a full crawl and check if the results display.
