In SharePoint Server 2013 cumulative update published on October 26th 2013 Microsoft changed method of extracting Title and Author managed properties from documents. Details are here:

Sometimes, people save or upload Word documents or PowerPoint presentations with titles like “Document1.docx” or “Presentation1.pptx”. Before the MetadataExtractor was introduced this title would typically show up as the title in the search results. That was not so good.
To present a better title for such files in the search results, we use the MetadataExtractor in the content processing pipeline. It searches for a title in the body of Word and PowerPoint files. Currently, if the MetadataExtractor finds a good candidate for a title in the body, it writes the extracted title to the new crawled property MetadataExtractorTitle that is mapped to the managed property Title by default.
Because the title from the crawled property MetadataExtractorTitle has the first priority in the mapping to the managed property Title, there’s a good chance that the titles of Word and PowerPoint files shown in search results are more relevant.
To change it you need to move crawled property "MetadataExtractorTitle" lower in "Title" managed property or even remove it.
Make sure to perform an Index Reset after resetting the order of mappings to crawled properties for the Title Managed Property (i.e., moving MetadataExtractorTitle down on the list).

Currently, all documents are shown in search result
I have stamped property on document library level across site collection
Example: Document library having stamp property ‘MyDocumentLibrary: true”
My requirement is to show documents from only those document library whose stamp property is present on document library
i.e. I wanted to filter out documents from other document library
Not sure if it is possible in SharePoint Online.
First you need to find Crawled Property containing word "...MyDocumentLibrary..."
Then based on this property you need to create Managed Property. Provide name (e.g. "MyDocumentLibrary") and check Queryable option.
Do a Full Crawl.
You need to open search result page to edit. Then edit search result webpart.
Click "Change Query" and add: MyDocumentLibrary=true.
Save & publish.
I tried creating an out of the box document library and added one taxonomy field. After I created a document and added a number of terms (about 50). If I try to edit the document in word it gives me an error because of the Document Information Panel when trying to save.
I think there is a limit with the number of characters in a field in the out of the box Document Information Panel. I am using SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013. Any ideas how to get around this issue?
The content query webpart in sharepoint 2013 fetches only Title. I am pointing to a Content type using it. Even though it contains many columns still Content Query displays only Title.
How can I customize it to point to some columns in that content type?
Also is there any other alternative to get data of columns of a particular content type?
Yes. You need to modify the itemstyle.xsl in the style library, and add a new template that can pull through the columns of your items.
I have a requirement where in a drop-down with years (2008,2009,2010,2011,2012) as its values is to be displayed.
On select of a particular value all annual report (i.e all pdf files falling in that year) for that particular year are to be displayed.
I have found Documents & Media useful to store such files. I have created Document Type for annual report having following meta data:
NAME: Text field-name of the file uploaded
FILE UPLOAD: file uploaded
YEAR: Integer-this year are linked to the drop down values
I am trying a way to filter (displaying all years in drop down) be added on viewer.
When you select a year, the file document stored is displayed. Please help as how to go on further.
We have Documents & Media Display but it shows all the files
Or if Web-content Display can be useful?
Or if how Documents & Media Display can be modified to generate a drop-down of all values displaying links to the pdf?
Please help.
So here is your requirement in short:
Show a drop-down with certain values
On select of any of the values, a list should appear which displays the list of files.
So here are my suggestions according to the points above:
Create your own custom portlet to show the drop-down. Don't go with customizing the liferay's portlet since later on you might get some more requirement to refine the logic or change the UI and you may also be required that Liferay's Document library portlet works as is. But if you want that uploading the files and a drop-down should be given in the same portlet then you have just one option to go with the Documents and Media display portlet.
Write your custom logic to display the list of files using Liferay Document & Media API in conjunction with Dynamic Query API.
The challenge would be to make the logic of fetching files according to the Meta-types for your Document Type, since I don't think liferay does not provide any way to fetch data according to the Meta-data types in a Document Type.
Please comment if you need something more or have not understood anything.
I have a customised Sharepoint results xsl, and I've added new columns before (via Metadata mappings etc), this one has me stumped.
We have a document type, that can either be a 'Document' or a 'Link to a document'.
When I search I want to check the URL INSIDE the 'Link to a document' (what it points to), but I only get the actual URL for the 'Link to a document'.
What property do I need to be indexing to display this?
It seems like you are asking for a feature that dynamically indexes the contents of the 'Link to a document' URL. If true, unfortunately this can't be done with out-of-the-box SharePoint. The product only indexes a set list of URLs / content sources as specified in Search Admin.
As a custom solution, you could write your own indexer using a timer job that regularly extracts the contents of each 'Link to a document' URL column and stuffs it into a field in your document content type. Perhaps there is even a way to run SharePoint's indexer over it and use the results of that.
