It's my understanding that site columns should automatically show up as crawled properties in 2013, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. This is what I've done so far.
- Created a new site column.
- Created a new content type that extends 'product with image' and added that site column to the content type.
- Created a new catalog 'app'.
- Added the new content type to the list and removed 'product with image'.
- Added one row to the list, filled out all fields (including my new column) and approved the list item.
- Performed a full crawl from central admin.
I've gone to the search schema in the site collection and central admin and I don't see my column under crawled properties. I've tried search for it by name, I also tried looking for it by hand by looking at the 'ows_q_TEXT' crawled properties. I believe that is what it should be named ...
Just to be clear, the catalog and search are working fine, I have cross site publishing working. I'd just like to add an additional column to the product so I can display it across on the 'public' side.
Does anyone know how this works? Is there a particular feature I have to enable, maybe a timer job or a service that needs to be running? The only services that I have provisioned so far are the search service and the managed metadata service.
Thanks
Joe
