I am using Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Search for retrieving results from some lists by ContentType. I have the problem that my Search results "CreatedBy" is always empty! I have looked at the Managed and Crawled Properties and everything seems to be ok.
I am using the managed property CreatedBy. It is mapped to ows_Created_x0020_By.
Managed Property setting
- Searchable yes
- Queryable yes
- Retrievable yes
- Include Content from all crawled properties yes -> selected mappings:
ows_Created_x0020_By
Crawled Properties settings of property ows_Created_x0020_By
Property Name: ows_Created_x0020_By
Category: SharePoint
Property Set ID: 00130329-0000-0130-c000-000000131346
Mappings to managed properties:
CreatedBy(Text)
Include in full-text index is checked!
Has anyone an idea whats wrong with this? Is this a bug? Has anyone same empty CreatedBy column?
Update
jwpfox's answer is correct but i want to add one more information to it. By default there are lots of crawled properties mapped to the Author property. I need it to get the CreatedBy column information out of custom list items. When i use the built in Author property i get multiple values back. The creator AND the modifier separated by an comma. I have created a new property which is only mapped to the Office: 4 crawled property and this works fine.
