Custom Fields for Content Search WebPart

I created a custom item display template to control the look of the data.  I copied the template "Picture on left, 3 lines on right" and just rearranged the div and added my own styles. 

I created a custom List for Company Information.  The list consists these fields;

Title

Hyperlink

Main Paragraph

Image

Sub Paragraph

I can not map Main Paragraph and Sub Paragraph as they do not display in the drop down for mapping fields.  I have crawled the database.

Please let me know if you have any ideas for getting those fields to show in the mapping.

Thank you

Check your search schema for crawled and managed properties which include the word 'paragraph'. You should have autogenerated properties for these. If not you can create custom managed properties and map the crawled prop to it.

Hi  Phillip6653,

For solving your issue, you can create Main Paragraph site column and Sub Paragraph site column. If you create a site column (not a list column), populate it with data, and run a full crawl  SharePoint will create a crawled property and a corresponding managed property.

Reference: Automatically created managed properties in SharePoint Server 2013

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Eric
