GUIDS in SharePoint 2010 Search Summary

Question

Hi,

I have some managed meta data fields on my document library. I add a word document and fill in the fields

When I do a crawl and search on my document I get this summary:

17316;#Doelgroep Danny|b0085d2f-992b-4542-b099-34a6a3dfed65 … 116;#Onderwerp 1|6b51c250-99f3-4f7b-8eeb-e14ab4c8d7cc … Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas …

My managed meta data columns are displayed with label guid pairs. When I set all my crawled props on not in index I still see them.

Any suggestions?

Danny

Answer 1

Hi Danny,

The format of the Managed Metadata Column looks like this: <WssId>;#<TermLabel>|<TermGuid>. So based on my understanding, you should custom the search result page.

Yes that's what I normally do. In this case they want to keep default Core Result WebPart output. The problem is actually that the HighlightSummary field contains the GUID. So I have no control about this field. It also only goes wrong on my search results that are documents and come from my document library. Result of type page doesn't show guid but just labels.

The problem seems to be that when I search on a word and that word is not in the document the summary is shown with first content it finds in document. The Taxonomy property is defined in the top of document it shows the tax field value with wssid. When I search on a word that is actually in the document I see a summary with text arround that word and Taxonomy field is not displayed

For the docx format it seems to work. For PDF and Doc format you see GUID's
