Default Column not showing in Search Results

Question

I am trying to customize the display of my Search Results.  Nothing fancy, I just want it to display the Title for a document.  I don't know what Search shows by default, something it pulls out of the doc itself, I think, but I need it to show what is entered in the Title Column that's available when you upload a document.  I looked in CA and there is a Managed Property named Title which is mapped to multiple Crawled Properties. 

When referencing this in my XSL do I reference by Managed Property or Crawled Property?  e.g. (MP) Title or (CP) ows_Title

 I am asking because it is not working.  When I try changing my XSL to use Title it doesn't change anything.  To troubleshoot this I have my results just dumping the XML.  Below is an excerpt.  What I don't understand is the "title" column.  I can't find reference to a lower case "title" column anywhere else and the value it is showing there is different then the value that is in the upper case "Title" column.

What am I missing?

Thank you,

Answer 1

You must use the Managed Property name "Title" . This is already there in the out of the box xslt. What you maybe seeing is a bug with office 2007 files specifically Word. The crawler is pulling a value out of the document for the title and not the Title SharePoint property you see when you edit the properties of the document in the SharePoint UI.

Thank you, that is what I had assumed as well.  I did not know about such a bug but that would definitely fit what I am seeing.  Are there solutions or workarounds?

Not that I know of. It may be fixed in SP1 which is in beta at this time.
