Hi,

I have developed a Search based application where I am displaying all consolidated events using Search webpart. I have used custom display template to customize the view. I am able to get all other fields in search result except 'EventDate' and 'EndDate'. 

Can someone help me why is this hapening? I am doing this on SharePoint Online. Is this because these fields are list fields or is this because its Online?

Thank you.

SharePoint generates crawled properties like OWS_EventDate and OWS_EndDate after crawling the content but you need to map them from Central Admin in the Search Service Application to make them appear in the result.

Hi Rupesh,

Thank you for inputs but I have already mapped those crawled properties to managed properties, and referring those managed properties in display templates. I tried mapping them on CA level as well as Site collection level but no luck.

Did you crawl the result once?

Hi,

This is SharePoint Online 2013/ Office 365. No Option for crawl.

thank you.

Do one thing, you can re-index list, that way it forcibly crawls. check if it helps. 

Hi,

I performed this step but still no luck.

Very well, I am empty now, you should ask Microsoft team.

Hi,

Could you get results when you search content of the EventDate and EndDate field?

How did you customize search display template? The link below is about how to display values from custom managed properties in search results for your reference:

Hi Dean,

I am trying to display those fields on the hover panel. I have customized this hover panel as mentioned in above article. 

For debug purpose i am using following code to print all coming fields/properties, but still properties are not coming in result:

<div >
<!--#_ 
        if(!$isNull(ctx.CurrentItem)){
            for (var key in ctx.CurrentItem)
            {
                var value = ctx.CurrentItem[key];
_#-->
                <div> _#= $htmlEncode(key) =#_ : _#= $htmlEncode(value) =#_ </div>
<!--#_ 
            }
        }
_#-->
</div>

And the strange thing is when I search for 'managed property' in Search schema at SharePoint Admin center, i get something like below :

PROPERTY NAME	TYPE	MULTI	QUERY	SEARCH	RETRIEVE	REFINE	SORT	SAFE	MAPPED CRAWLED PROPERTIES	ALIASES
EventDateOWSDATE	Text	-	Query	-	Retrieve	-	-	-	ows_q_DATE_EventDate	EventDateOWSDATE

I just got on managed property which has 'EventDate' and which is not searchable. And when tried to edit it the option is disabled. 

Don't know what to do now.

Regards,

Rahul Shinde.
