I am using Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Search for retrieving results from some lists by ContentType. I have the problem that my Search results "CreatedBy" is always empty! I have looked at the Managed and Crawled Properties and everything seems to be ok.
I am using the managed property CreatedBy. It is mapped to ows_Created_x0020_By.
Managed Property setting
Searchable yes
Queryable yes
Retrievable yes
Include Content from all crawled properties yes -> selected mappings: ows_Created_x0020_By
Crawled Properties settings of property ows_Created_x0020_By
Property Name: ows_Created_x0020_By
Category: SharePoint
Property Set ID: 00130329-0000-0130-c000-000000131346
Mappings to managed properties:
CreatedBy(Text)
Include in full-text index is checked!
Has anyone an idea whats wrong with this? Is this a bug? Has anyone same empty CreatedBy column?
Update
jwpfox's answer is correct but i want to add one more information to it. By default there are lots of crawled properties mapped to the Author property. I need it to get the CreatedBy column information out of custom list items. When i use the built in Author property i get multiple values back. The creator AND the modifier separated by an comma. I have created a new property which is only mapped to the Office: 4 crawled property and this works fine.
The internal name for Created By is Author not CreatedBy.

I have a custom contentType "Project Info" and 'Title' property is derrived from "Item".
I want to sort via Title (I'm using rest).
I have created a result source and while using the content type the I get the desired "project-items":
ContentTypeId:0x0100A5C45A8A8F7F904EA9BDB82895CC00C6*
So far so good...
I've tried to use "Refinablestring00" and map properties similar to 'Title' managed property.
Then I try to sort the result source via "refinablestring00" and it doesnt work.
Am I missing a mapped property, or what am I doing wrong?
I think the issue is the Mappings to Crawled Properties setting that is forced on the OOTB RefineableStrings. The Title Managed Property is set Include content from the first crawled property that contains information, but the RefinableStrings all have the forced setting in SharePoint Online of Include Content From All Crawled Properties. Because of this, if a search result has data for more than one of the mapped crawled properties, this could affect your sort order.
Unfortunately I think this is a big short coming to SPO when it comes to Search customization that hopefully will be addressed in the future as they learn better ways to manage Search across multiple tenancies.
What I would suggest is altering the mappings to only include one crawled property (the one that corresponds with the SharePoint list item Title field) and this should give you a result that's closer to what you're looking for.
I'm trying to dynamically construct URLs in an ASP.NET MVC website that point back to a SharePoint list view with a Key Filter enabled for a managed metadata field (which uses a TermSet).
If I configure a navigation hierarchy for the managed metadata field, I see the following in the URL:
TreeField=MyCategory&TreeValue=0C37852B-34D0-418E-91C6-2AC25AF4BE5B
However, if configure the managed metdata field as a KeyFilter, I see the following in the URL:
#ServerFilter=FilterField1=MyCategory-FilterValue1=247-FilterLookupId1=1-FilterOp1=In
Where does the FilterValue1 value of 247 come from? It is not the database id of the MyCategory term. It is also not present anywhere on the Term object when loading the taxonomy through the SharePoint API. Is there a way to construct the query string to use the guid for the term (or better yet, the label, which I know will be unique).
The value comes from the taxonomy hidden list. Use the following method GetWssIdSoftTerm to get the int value the above urls are using to filter the data.

I'm trying to map a Managed Property to the Modified By field in document library's. I can see that the internal name of the field is Editor. But I can't find ows_editor in crawled Properties.
Is there a way of adding it to the crawled properties, and how?
Upload any document to the library where the mapping column exist.
Then perform a full crawl and you will be able to see the required crawled properties.
Have mapped properties for custom fields used in multiple site collections.
The property is also used to display additional information on the search results page if it contains information.
The search results work fine as content from each site collection is returned, but the managed property only contains data for content found on one particular site collection.
When configuring the managed property, there is only one option available to select the custom field I wish to map.
A full crawl has completed since configuring the managed property. The content from each site collection is being indexed, but the managed properties are only populated with data for content on one site collection.
Are the fields available to select when configuring a managed property from all site collections, or do I need to change a setting somewhere to tell it to look for custom fields in an alternate site collection?
Thanks in advance.
I've done this before and it is possible and indeed straightforward, you do not need to set any special settings. Just make sure that the internal names of the fields are the same (or all names are mapped to the managed property) and all lists/sites are set to be included in search results
I have pages in a pages library on a publishing site which have a managed metadata (taxonomy) field in their content type. I want my custom search webpart to read the taxonomy set on its parent page (I can do this fine) and then query against a specific scope using only the selected tags of the parent page as the filter (no keyword necessary).
I have tried to set FixedQuery = âowstaxIdMetadataAllTagsInfo=#0[TERM GUID]â of my CoreResultWebPart with no success... I actually gave up after I was getting 0 results and am now trying to just perform a FullTextSqlQuery.
Unfortunately it seems that even though pages with the managed metadata field are successfully being indexed, the managed property owstaxIdMetadataAllTagsInfo has no data in the results! I went ahead and made the property searchable/queryable and the property value is null.
Can you anyone confirm that I should be getting values from that managed property when there is indeed a managed metadata field on the page that is populated with data?
Note: I have tried to make my own managed property based on the managed metadata field in my site's content type -- same results.
I don't think - owstaxIdMetadataAllTagsInfo returns anything. I tried adding it to my result web part's Diaplay properties > fetched properties and got a property not recognized...related error.
So I created a separate metadata property for 'enterprise keywords' i.e. 'TaxKeyword. You need to ensure that you check the checkbox - 'Reduce storage requirements for text properties by using a hash for comparison' otherwise no results will be returned for that peroperty is you use LIKE predicate with fulltextsql.
