Search scopes property query

Question

Is there an option I have to turn on in order to use property query rules in search scopes? I'm on the same screen that's showing it as an option on this guide but I don't see the option on our instance:

What am I missing?

Using SharePoint Online (2010).

This is just another issue with SharePoint Online specifically.

Please see this forum:

Hello,

This is Justin with Microsoft Office 365 SharePoint Support. Thanks for posting your question on the community.

I apologize but we have recently found an issue with our search scopes system and have disabled the feature. We are currently working on the fix, but until completed, site collection administrators will be unable to create, edit, or delete any of their search scopes or display groups. At this time there is no ETA for the fix and only scopes created in the past prior to the issue will work. Keep an eye on the Release Notes and Official Blog for updates or known issues to the product. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thanks and Regards,

Justin Ronan
