Searching for Managed Property only working after reediting item and starting incremental crawl

Were using a lot of custom columns referring to TermSets in the termstore. One of the columns has the static Name product. After a full crawl, a crawled property ows_taxid_product and a managed property owstaxidproduct are found as expected.

UseCase:Create Item in list http://demo/app/akb/Lists/DemoList with product set to "DEMO". Start an incremental crawl.

Expected Result: Item should be found when searching for owstaxidproduct:DEMO.

Result: Item is found.

Great.

Approve the Item in the source lists. Approval fires an Event Receiver which publishes the item to a target list with same structure in a different site collection.

UseCase: Copy Item from http://demo/app/akb/Lists/DemoList to http://demo/DE/Products/akb/Lists/DemoList by Eventreceiver. Start an incremental crawl.

Expected Result: Item should be found twice now when searching for owstaxidproduct:DEMO

Result: Only the first occurence in the source list was found.

I did check the crawl logs for the second use case. The item was successfully crawled from the target list.

Even a full crawl doesn't make a difference. Only the first occurrence  is found.

I could only get the item found in the second Location if i go into edit mode, save (without any changes), start incremental crawl again. Now the search for the managed property finds both entries.

Any ideas?

If you are creating the column at list level in target list, then a different crawl property is created and the same has been mapped with another managed property.

Check with this and let me know the ou

Hi, the column Product was deployed as a part of a content type solution together with content types containing the site collection column. The source and target list have the same content type assigned.

Hi,

Make sure that both sites are crawled and check the crawl rules, there might be a chance that crawl rule is stopping the data to be crawl.

Internal Name of the column in both list should be

There is no crawl rule at all. Only different scopes (result sources). But the item is not displayed even with the standard result source (Local SharePoint).
