Sharepoint Refinement Panel showing GUID - sharepoint

I am having the same problem as this post: social.msdn.com.
I am aware that they have an answer but I can't seem to understand what they mean.
So I have set up a managed property and then added it to my refinement panel using this code:
<Category Title="Loan Category" Description="Use this filter to restrict results by Loan Category" Type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.WebControls.ManagedPropertyFilterGenerator" MetadataThreshold="5" NumberOfFiltersToDisplay="4" MaxNumberOfFilters="20" SortBy="Frequency" SortByForMoreFilters="Name" SortDirection="Descending" SortDirectionForMoreFilters="Ascending" ShowMoreLink="True" MappedProperty="LoanCategory" MoreLinkText="show more" LessLinkText="show fewer" />
However when I do a search it displays all kinds of GUIDs for the categories as well as the categories I am looking for. I am pretty sure this did not happen when I just had this set up in test.
The crawled properties that I have mapped to this managed property are as follows:
Loan Category(Text), ows_Loan_x0020_Category(Text), Loan_x0020_Category(Text)
I originally had "ows_taxId_Loan_x0020_Category(Text)" mapped as well however I removed it after reading this might be the issue. Ran a full crawl and still no luck. I have also reset the search index and run a full crawl.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the link that is being generated by the refinement panel:
<a title="Refine By: #96dbf06d-8bf8-4ec5-971b-36e27fba1f62;Loan Sale:Participation and Servicing Agreement;#4ac5410c-79e9-4a9a-99fb-66592342ed16;#51e388cd-62df-4e50-98b4-01af5f776aea;#04ac5410c-79e9-4a9a-99fb-66592342ed16" class="ms-searchref-filterlink" id="ext-gen151" href="/Search/Pages/results.aspx?k=LoanCategory%3AServicing&r=loancategory%3D%22%2396dbf06d%2D8bf8%2D4ec5%2D971b%2D36e27fba1f62%3BLoan%20Sale%3AParticipation%20and%20Servicing%20Agreement%3B%234ac5410c%2D79e9%2D4a9a%2D99fb%2D66592342ed16%3B%2351e388cd%2D62df%2D4e50%2D98b4%2D01af5f776aea%3B%2304ac5410c%2D79e9%2D4a9a%2D99fb%2D66592342ed16%22">

I determined that the GUIDs were showing in my refinement panel because they were in fact the contents of one of the crawled properties that was mapped to my managed property.
In order to determine which one I created a managed property for each of the crawled properties and added them individually. I then did an search index reset from central administration and re-ran a full crawl.
I found the guid in the database which gave me the heads up. In the database go to your search db and look for the table MSSManagedProperties. Your db name may be different.
Select * from [_SearchDB].[dbo].[MSSManagedProperties]
Get the managed property you want and then do a query on PropertyStore database table MSSDocProps based on the Pid.
Select strVal2 FROM [_SearchDB_PropertyStore].[dbo].[MSSDocProps] where Pid = ?
This gives you an idea of what data you are getting for that managed property.

I Got the Solution.
Above issue is resolved by adding ListElement and ItemElement in mapping of crawled properties box.

Hybris product configuration

I'm having a problem with the product list configuration of hybris. I'm more than sure that the answer of this issue is pretty simple, but I can't solve it. So here is the problem.
I have one homepage with one link, assigned to the navigation bar. Whenever the link is pressed I want to get redirected to a product list page where a list of all products of certain category will be displayed. However, I managed to do this, but anytime I change the name of a certain product something happens and the page stops displaying. It throws an error saying it is looking for the old name of the product I've edited.
For example, if the product name is Product1, the page is displayed, then I go and change the name to Product2 and when I press on the link, it throws an error Product with code 'Product1' not found! If I want this to be fixed, I have to create a new Product1 and I'm more than sure that this is not the right way it should work. Is there any synchronization that I need to do after making changes in the catalog or something of this kind? Any help will be appreciated!
I recommend you try two things that may resolve your issue.
When you make a change to a product, you will more than likely do it to the staged catalog. This is your intermediary to ensure information is correct before going live (especially useful if you have a workflow process in place). In order to synchronise this information, you will need to login to the product cockpit (your-server:9000/productcockpit). Find the staged version of the catalog on the left hand menu, right click on it, and select "Sync Selected Versions". This will transfer your information into the Online catalog.
When you arrive on the product listings page and the search results page, the information contained is more than likely indexed by SOLR. In order for any changes to be reflected, you will need to re-index. To do this:
Go to the HMC and login (your-server:9000/hmc/hybris)
In the navigation menu to the left, click on System > Facet Search > Indexer Operation Wizard
A pop-up window will appear. Select the Indexer operation as update and the Solr configuration to the index associated with your website.
Click start and the re-indexing will begin. It shouldn't take too long
If this fails, then you may need a full re-index instead
I hope this will help; I recommend you set up a Cronjob to re-index periodically in future, to keep your website up to date with your product management.
PLP(Product Listing Page) fetches data from Solr. So whenever you are changing anything that is referred in the PLP, you need to update your indexes in Solr.
As you have changed the product name, update the Solr index from hmc.

finding client ID's of table of listview webpart

short: A listview webpart contains a table with an ID composed of two GUID's, how do I find these?
I am working on adding some additional behaviour to a standard sharepoint listview-webpart.
Preferably I don't want to actually edit the webpart itself. I want to put javascript in a helper webpart to add some onclick events to the table rows which pass the values of the id and status columns to the helper webpart, which then displays some buttons depending on the row's status.
I searched around to see how others tackled this problem, and usually they use the webpart container div with ID WebPartWPQ _n_". The problem is that these webparts are going to be used on lots of sites, and I have no way of knowing the value of _n_.
A bit further down in the hierarchy is the main table of the view, and it also has an ID. In my test-case: {BF3FB0FA-7E7F-4920-A326-B5E46826B693}-{BD0777BD-455D-4554-A80E-8A11D990D1A5}
I figured these two guids must stand for something and could possibly be looked up.
So I went on a search through Sharepoint Manager to try to find those GUIDs, but I can't find them. Neither is the list ID, nor the original View ID, nor the web ID or the site ID.
So my question: Does anybody know what these ID's stand for, and how I can find them with my webpart code?
Have you considered using XSLT to customize the output of the webpart? You could then customize the output HTML and include any identifiers you wish so that you could reference them in your javascript. This is a pretty good description of how to do this: Overriding the presentation of an XSLT List View Web Part.

Manager property is not available for Full Text Search (SharePoint 2010)

I had created a web part on MOSS 2007 which displays a organizational chart by searching (Full Text) the user profiles.
To identify the subordinates of a user, I used to search for users with the particular user in Manager property. The query looked like this:
SELECT AccountName, PreferredName, Manager, WorkEmail FROM scope() WHERE ("SCOPE" = 'People') AND Manager = 'domain\parent_user'
But, the same query does not run in SharePoint 2010 as Manager crawled property does not exists.
So, I created a new crawled property and mapped it to People:Manager(Text) now, the Manager property is always empty.
Even a full crawl after clearing the indexes also not helping.
Can anyone please help me in getting manager information in Full Text Search?
Thanks in advance!
Update: I tried mapping the crawled property with ows_Manager(Text) property also, still the same result.
After struggling a little, I got it working!
The new crawled property mapped to People:Manager(text) started giving values in search result by following the below steps:
Check Indexed checkbox in Manager User Profile property edit page
Reset crawl index
Full crawl again

Sharepoint managed Properties

Moved to Server Fault:
Sharepoint managed Properties
I have a custom Content Type inside a list that has over 30 items, and I have added several "managed properties" to the "crawled properties", in the SSP.
All of them work except 1.
The column "Synopsis" is a multiline field with no limit on it's length. It appears as a crawled property "Synopsis", and is mapped to a managed property 'asynop'.
On the 'Advanced Search Page', it is added as a property and searchable, however it only returns a partial result (if at all). I manually created an entry, ran the crawl and was able to search for it. I edited an existing entry, ran the crawl (full and incremental), and it still only returned the manually entered entry.
If I entered the search term in the Search box directly "synopsis:fatigue", then all the correct results appear.
What the is happening? And could it please stop?
This is a known issue and is dependent on what type of search is executed.
