sharepoint 2013 people search - custom facets

4
votes

I added a new custom property to my user properties store (Intranet Department). It is attached to a term set. For my profiles, I have selected one of the terms for the custom property I created.

I also have a search page with a search box, search results, and refinement web part on it. My search results is set to query people. In my refinement web part, I can see my custom property, but when I do my query, the refinement does not show up in refinement web part:

Refinement selection

Results

So what am I doing wrong here?

I did not work on SharePoint 2013, I am working on SharePoint 2010. I had similar issue in 2010, i resolved the issue by setting the Custom user property security setting VISIBILITY to "Everyone". After that run the full indexing on the profiles.
