When and where?
BEFORE YOU RUN, YOU MUST WALK… BEFORE WALK, YOU MUST CRAWL. Before a document column can be used in a search results page, a crawl is
necessary.
Crawled Properties
Managed Properties
WHAT’S IN A NAME? Names make columns simpler to use.
Sometimes, too simple can add difficulty.
Spaces in Column Names “ProductName” vs. “Product_Name” vs. “Product Name”
Look for the property named:ows_{YourColumnName}({YourColumnType})
i.e. ows_CompanyRegion(Text)
Or
ows_Company_x0020_Region(Text)
