I am trying to surface a custom property in the people search query results. For example,

http://<servername:port>/_api/search/query?querytext='*'&sourceid='B09A7990-05EA-4AF9-81EF-EDFAB16C4E31'

I get XML results but when I look at the properties returned for each of the people result, there are no custom properties from user profile properties. How can I modify the custom properties so that they start showing in the XML results for people search?

Rank, DocId, AboutMe, AccountName, BaseOfficeLocation, Department etc.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Update: I am using SearchExecutor class and its ExecuteQuery API.

Found the answer.

I had to add custom properties to the "Query" object using SelectedProperties class's Add method

query.SelectProperties.Add
