SharePoint 2010 - Adding filter to refinement panel

votes

I know there are threads out there about making changes to the refinement panel and they have so far been very helpful but now I have a question that I need a bit more assistance with.

I've created a new filter for the refinement panel. That worked very fine. I can see the filter, when I perform a search.

enter image description here

But when I click on the new filter, all search results disappear and it just says: "We did not find any results for ".

enter image description here

I can see that the url gets my created filter attached:

results.aspx?...&r=filterfield%3D%22True%22

I have created a managed metadata property and added the field to the search results (search core results webpart). What I'm doing wrong? Why it doesn't work? Any hints? Thanks for any help.

Why did you add a filter field to the search results web part? What does that have to do with the refiner? – lestersconyers
No, sorry, I added the field itself, not a filter to the search results. I read it somewhere, that otherwise the filter won't work. I sounded strange to me, but I needed the field there anyway. – dns_nx

I found the reason. I forgot to start a full crawl after creating the managed metadata field.
