SharePoint Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for SharePoint enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.

Yesterday we restored a backup of SharePoint install on another server, but I've run into a peculiar problem regarding search.

  • Searching using the default search box at the top right of every page works just as expected.

  • Opening the Search Page (https://site/search/Pages/default.aspx) and using that doesn't work, and gives the following error:

Property doesn't exist or is used in a manner inconsistent with schema settings.

I need to get this fixed, and I think this is about a missing metadataproperty that's being search. I've tried looking for clues about which property SharePoint is warning me, but with no succes. Nothing in crawl logs, nothing in ULS.

Questions that come to mind:

  1. How do find out what metadata property is causing the issue?

  2. It seems the search box and search page are using different search algorithms? Is this normal?
