Use the Company property in Advanced Search?

Question

I've added the Search web part to my SharePoint site, and I've noticed that in the Advanced Search section, if I select "Word Document" from Result Type, the Property drop-down exposes two extra values - "Company" and "Manager".  I've added these as columns to various of my Document Libraries but if I enter a search to find documents that contain Company = <search string> (where <search string> can be a single letter, which I know ought to return a collection of documents).  So I'm a bit confused - how can I get this to work?  My site needs to classify the documents by Company (there will eventually be about 100,000 documents in it) and the users need to search for documents sent to a particular company, so....

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Edward

I've got it to work - I needed to fiddle about with the metadata in the Search Server Administration.
